FOREWORD 


To  THE  CLASS: 

Thanks  to  those  who  have  aided  in  the  preparation  of 
this  book,  and  regret  that  its  appearance  has  been  so  long 
delayed,  are  the  two  thoughts  which  demand  expression  in 
this,  the  last  word  for  the  Vicennial  Report.  The  delay,  I 
take  wholly  upon  my  own  shoulders,  extenuating  my  fault  only 
by  reference  to  a  large  number  of  calls  upon  my  time  and  other 
personal  reasons  connected  with  my  business.  The  forbear- 
ance of  the  Class  I  have  always  relied  upon  and  have  never 
been  disappointed. 

Even  now,  its  pages  would  not  have  been  ready  for  your 
perusal  had  it  not  been  for  the  devoted  labors  of  William 
Savage  Burns,  who,  with  diligence,  skill,  and  cheerful  sac- 
rifice of  time  has  done  a  very  large  part  of  the  work  of  prepar- 
ation of  the  biographies.  The  Bibliography  is  entirely  his 
work  and  represents  much  labor  in  the  best  libraries  within 
reach.  To  him  I  extend  the  most  hearty  thanks  of  the  Class 
and  myself. 

Without  enumerating  them,  I  also  wish  to  thank  others 
of  the  Class,  who,  by  written  and  spoken  suggestion,  and  by 
supplying  the  photographs  from  which  many  of  the  illus- 
trations are  reproduced,  have  contributed  much  to  make  the 
book  what  it  is.  Who  some  of  them  are,  will  be  apparent 
from  a  perusal  of  the  pages  which  follow. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  biographical  sketches  have 
been  made  more  complete  than  in  former  reports,  by  the  ad- 
dition of  information  concerning  parentage,  preparation  for 
college,  relationship  and  other  facts  dating  back  of  entrance 
to  college.  While  these  items  may  not  add  very  largely  to 
the  present  interest  of  the  Report,  it  is  hoped  that  they  will 
add  to  its  value  as  a  permanent  record.  It  should  be  possible 
to  turn  to  the  class  record  of  any  graduate  of  Yale  and  learn 


from  its  pages  all  concerning  him  which  can  be  concisely 
stated  in  print.  It  is  hoped  that  the  biographies  herein,  ap- 
proach that  design ;  but  at  the  same  time  addition  of  informa 
tion  not  now  available  may  be  hereafter  made  to  advantage. 

It  may  have  seemed  to  some  of  you  that  some  of  the 
information  which  you  have  been  asked  to  contribute  was 
somewhat  irrelevant;  but  with  the  design  above  outlined  in 
mind  I  think  you  will  agree  with  me  that  every  fact  which 
I  have  sought  to  elicit  from  you  may  have  a  bearing  upon 
the  preparation  of  a  biography  which  shall  enable  your  class- 
mates and  others  to  see  you  as  you  really  are. 

I  have  made  a  diligent  effort,  too,  to  get  back  into  the 
lists,  some  of  the  missing  non-graduate  members  of  the  Class. 
Many  of  them  have  never  been  heard  from  directly  or  in- 
directly  since  they  left  college,  and  some  have  appeared  only 
for  a  moment  within  the  scope  of  the  Secretary's  vision,  to 
disappear  again. 

If  it  shall  be  my  lot  to  prepare  another  Class  Report,  it 
is  my  hope  that  it  shall  contain  the  name  and  some  facts  con- 
cerning every  man  whose  name  was  ever  enrolled  upon  the 
membership  roll  of  '87.  I  ask  each  man  to  bear  in  mind  this 
desire,  and  in  the  event  that  he  shall  have  knowledge  of  any 
man  whose  biography  is  entitled  to  a  place  in  our  records, 
but  is  missing  or  incomplete,  to  see  that  such  information 
reaches  me. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

GEORGE  E.  HILL, 
Bridgeport,  June  15,  1909.  Secretary. 


SINCE  THE  LAST    REPORT 


HE  additional  year  or  more  since  this  report  should, 
in  the  orderly  progress  of  events,  have  been  is- 
sued to  an  expectant  world,  gives  some  informa- 
tion for  its  pages  which  would  have  been  nec- 
essarily omitted  had  it  gone  to  press  earlier. 
These  lines  are  written  as  the  news  is  being  ticked  across 
the  world  that  the  people  have  for  the  first  time  chosen  a 
Yale  man  for  President  and  a  word  of  gratified  pride  that 
such  is  the  case  cannot  properly  be  construed,  in  a  Yale  Class 
Report,  as  an  introduction  of  politics  into  its  pages.  Doubt- 
less some  Yale  men,  perhaps  some  '87  men  were  among  those 
who  felt  it  a  duty  to  vote  against  him,  but  even  those  will 
unite  with  all  other  Yale  men  everywhere  in  a  feeling  of  sat- 
isfaction that  worth  and  circumstance  combined  to  give  Yale 
the  honor  which  thus  comes  to  her. 

The  Class,  entering  upon  its  third  decade  of  post-grad- 
uate life  has,  among  its-  members,  men  whose  accomplishments 
must  be  recorded  early  in  these  pages.  To  tell  of  them  thus 
among  ourselves  is  not  a  boast  but  a  mere  chronicle  of  events 
of  interest  and  importance  to  each  one  of  us.  They  cannot 
all  be  referred  to  here,  but  the  pages  which  follow  will  show 
what  each  man  has  done  for  himself,  the  world  and  the  rep- 
utation of  Yale  and  '87,  so  far  as  they  can  be  gleaned  from  the 
all  too  modest  reports  which  you  have  given  of  yourselves. 

It  is  a  busy  lot  of  fellows,  this  Class  of  '87.  The  drones 
are  either  few  or  absent  altogether  from  its  roll  of  member- 
ship. It  is  that  persistence  in  useful  occupation  which  will 
most  impress  one  who  tries  to  look  them  all  over  and  draw 
a  composite  picture  of  the  127  men  who  remain.*  Every  man 

*The  statistical  part  of  the  Report  was  in  type  before  the  death  of 
Clinton  Larue  Hare,  who  died  June  4,  1909.  It  did  not  seem  feasible  to 
make  changes  in  that  part  of  the  book  already  set  up.  The  figures, 
therefore,  include  Hare  among  the  living,  rather  than  among  the  de- 
ceased members. 


b  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

has  a  useful  occupation  and  is  making  the  most  of  the  noon 
of  his  active  life.  Most  of  them  are  doing  it  in  a  way  which 
is  suggestive  in  some  measure  of  the  characteristics  which 
marked  him  when  he  was  in  college. 

Do  you  remember  how  George  Pettee  was  accustomed 
to  hustle  in  college, — especially  around  examination  time? 
We  all  knew  then  as  we  know  now  that  he  was  a  born  teacher 


with  an  energy  back  of  him  which  knew  no  limits.  He  is 
hustling  just  the  same  to-day.  Not  long  ago  he  resigned  from 
the  headship  of  the  University  School,  in  Cleveland,  because 
he  wanted  to  work  out  plans  of  his  own,  and  now  he  is  work- 
ing out  those  plans  on  a  couple  of  thousand  acres  up  in  Berk- 
shire County,  Massachusetts. 

Tom  Penney  has  gone  from  bad  to  worse.  He  has  been 
for  years  counsel  for  the  Consolidated  Street  Railway  Lines, 
of  Buffalo,  and  "all  'round  about,"  but  not  many  weeks  ago 


SINCE    LAST    REPORT  7 

he  became   President  of  the   Company,  thereby  getting  into 
the  Trust  Magnate  Class. 

In  the  meantime  Fred  Hill  has  been  practicing  law  and 
writing  books.  From  appearances  the  law  practice  must  suf- 
fer sometimes  for  books,  articles  and  stories  follow  one  an- 
other with  all  the  rapidity  consistent  with  good  work.  The 
years  since  the  last  report  have  led  Fred  into  at  least  three 
distinct  lines  of  literary  work — fiction,  history  and  biography, 
with  the  last  two  predominating  over  the  former.  "Lincoln, 


—  "AND  FROZE  OUR  FEATURES  FOR  A  PHOTOGRAPH." 


the  Lawyer,"  "Decisive  Battles  of  the  Law,"  and  the  "Story 
of  a  Street,"  each  fills  a  place  of  its  own,  untouched  by  other 
writers.  In  these  books  it  is  not  that  Fred  has  handled  a 
particular  subject  better  than  some  one  else,  but  rather  it 
should  be  said  that  he  has  handled  well  a  subject  no  one 
else  has  touched.  That  Yale  gave  him  an  honorary  degree 
Master  of  Arts  in  1907,  need  surprise  no  one  who  has  followed 
his  literary  progress. 

Billy  Kent  was  similiarly  honored  by  Yale  in  1908.     In 
conferring  this  degree,  the  University  recognized  many  things 


CLASS    OF    EIGHTY- SEVEN 


which  we  of  the  Class  have  known  for  years.  His  recent  gift 
to  the  United  States  Government  of  295  acres  of  primeval 
California  redwood  growth  on  the  slopes  of  Mt.  Tamalpais, 
near  San  Francisco,  is  a  matter  of  public  record  and  public 
knowledge.  The  canon  thus  given  and  containing  the  last 


HEADQUARTERS 

of  the  primeval  redwoods  in  that  part  of  California — some  of 
them  eighteen  feet  in  diameter  and  three  hundred  feet  in 
height — has,  by  proclamation  of  the  President,  been  made  a 
"National  Monument,"  and  will  be  known  as  Muir  Woods. 

John  Rogers,  by  a  discovery  but  little  known  to  laymen, 
has  added  materially  to  the  store  of  medical  knowledge  and 


SINCE    LAST    REPORT 


contributed  to  the  alleviation  of  human  suffering.  The  nature 
of  this  discovery  and  the  peculiar  circumstances  surrounding 
it  cannot  be  better  expressed  than  by  quoting  from  an  article 
by  W.  W.  Keen,  M.  D.,  L.  L.  D.,  in  the  April,  1909,  Harper's 
on  "Recent  Surgical  Progress,"  in  which  the  althor  says : — 

''Recently  an  antidote  (for  exophthalmic  goiter  or  Graves' 
disease),  has  been  prepared  by  Rogers  swid  Beebe,  of  Xew 
York,  which  promises  very  much  in  the  way  of  cure  and 
may  possibly  obviate  operation.  One  of  the  gentlemen  most 
interested  in  the  development  of  the  antidote  (Dr.  Rogers), 
was  spurred  on  in  his  experiments  by  the  fact  that  his  own 
wife  was  suffering  dreadfully  from  the  disease  and  rapidly 
nearing  the  grave. 

The  idea  of  preparing  this  anti-serum  or  antidote  had 
come  to  him  while  watching  the  action  of  another  anti-serum 
whose  whole  effect  was  spent  upon  the  kidney,  no  other  organ 
of  the  body  being  affected.  This  suggested  to  him  the  idea 
that  an  anti-serum  might  be  prepared  from  diseased  thyroids 
which  would  have  its  effect  upon  the  thyroid  gland. 

Soon  after  this  fruitful  idea  had  developed  in  his  mind, 
a  patient  with  Graves'  disease  died,  and  at  the  post-mortem 
he  obtained  the  thyroid  gland  from  this  unfortunate  patient. 
With  this  a  number  of  rabbits  were  inoculated,  but  in  con- 
sequence of  his  total  ignorance  of  the  proper  method  of  using 
it,  all  but  one  of  these  rabbits  died.  From  this  one  rabbit 
there  was  prepared  an  extraordinarily  good  serum,  which  ab- 
solutely cured  three  human  beings  and  partially  cured  two 
others.  The  second  of  the  three  who  were  cured  was  the  wife 
of  the  Doctor  himself.  Her  attending  physician,  one  of  great 
eminence,  declared  to  her  husband  that  how  long  she  would 
live  was  only  a  question  of  hours.  By  reason  of  the  fact  that 
its  instant  use  was  imperative  before  it  could  be  thoroughly 
tested  on  animals  so  as  to  learn  its  dangers  and  how  to  avoid 
them,  he  nearly  killed  his  own  wife  in  his  attempt  to  cure  her, 
but  she  is  to-day  a  perfecly  well  woman  ;  thanks  to  this  ex- 
periment on  a  small  number  of  rabbits."

CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 


Since  the  last  report  went  to  press,  sixteen  marriages  have 
directly  involved  members  of  the  Class.  Five  of  these  are 
second  marriages. 

Those  whose  names  are  thus  added  to  what  Sam  Knight 
once  called  the  Benedictine  Class  are :  Adams,  Bissell,  Carlton, 
Cobb,  Cullinan,  Curtis,  Dann,  Douglass,  C.  Ferris,  Gardiner, 
Hawkes,  Lewis,  C.  Morse,  Pritchard,  Seymour  and  E.  Trow- 
bridge. 

Twenty-seven  bachelors  still  remain — an  old  guard  which 
has  neither  died  or  surrendered. 


-"  CAPT.    BAYNE    SELECTED   HIS    BASE    BALL    TEAM 
WITH    THE    UTMOST   CARE." 

There  are  therefore  just  one  hundred  of  the  living  mem- 
bers of  the  Class  who  have  entered  upon  married  life.  Seven 
of  the  deceased  members  of  the  Class  were  married.  Eight 
have  contracted  second  marriages  and  one  has  been  married 
three  times. 

Nine  graduates  and  one  non-graduate  have  died  since 
January,  1903.  Pennell  died  not  long  after  that  date,  and 
then  no  deaths  occurred  until  two  years  later,  when,  within 
a  few  months  Hunt,  Johnson,  Peet,  and  Turney  all  passed  on. 


SINCE    LAST    REPORT

In  May,  1906,  Brigham  died,  and  in  1907,  we  lost  Bowers.  In 
1908  death  claimed  Abell,  Gillespie  and  Hard. 

Thus  it  appears  that  there  are  but  one  hundred  and 
twenty-seven  of  us  left  of  the  one  hundred  and  fifty,  whose 
names  appear  on  the  complete  graduate  roster  of  the  Class. 

That  the  deaths  have  been  more  numerous  in  the  second 
decade  than  in  the  first,  is  only  natural  To  the  close  of  1897, 
seven  members  had  died,  while  in  the  period  from  January 
1,  1898  to  January  1,  1909,  we  lost  sixteen. 

To  compare  the  mortality  of  the  Class  with  that  of  other 
classes  shows  us  to  have  been  less  fortunate  in  this  respect 


than  they.  No  class  from  '82  to  '92,  has  lost  as  many  mem- 
bers by  death  as  we,  and  no  class  except  the  Class  of  '82, 
as  large  a  percentage  of  members — and  the  figures  for  '82 
cover  a  period  of  twenty-five  years  while  ours  cover  a  period 
of  but  little  more  than  twenty. 

Up  to  1908,  the  Class  of  '87  had  lost  15  per  cent,  of  its 
graduate  members  by  death,  and  '82  had  lost  the  same  per- 
centage ;  '83  and  '86,  fourteen  per  cent. ;  '84  and  '88  eleven 
per  cent.;  '85,  ten  per  cent.;  '89  and  '92,  eight  per  cent.;  '91, 
seven  per  cent.,  and  '90  only  two  per  cent. 


12  CLASS   OF    KIGHTY-SEVEX 

Of  the  seven  deceased  members  who  were  married,  five 
left  children ;  while  of  the  living  benedicts,  seventy-nine  have 
children,  leaving  among  the  living  members,  twenty-one  mar- 
riages thus  far  childless. 

Two  hundred  and  sixteen  is  the  aggregate  number  of  all 
our  children  and  their  average  ages  would  be  not  far  from 
eleven  years. 

The  boys  outnumber  the  girls  somewhat,  there  being  one 
hundred  and  nineteen  of  the  former  and  only  ninety-seven 
of  the  latter.  Of  this  total  of  two  hundred  and  sixteen,  seven 
boys  and  six  girls  have  died. 

The  average  size  of  families  of  those  having  children  is 
2  57-100. 

Twenty-two  have  but  one  child  each ;  twenty-six,  two 
each ;  seventeen,  three  each ;  eleven,  four  each ;  four,  five  each  ; 
two,  six  each ;  one,  seven,  and  one  eight. 

Among  the  children  are  two  pairs  of  twins. 

The  sons  of  '87  are  already  beginning  to  come  to  Yale. 
Pettee's  son  is  in  the  Sophomore  Class  and  John  Hugus  Cald- 
well,  of  the  Freshman  Class,  is  a  son  of  "Vic"  Caldwell. 

The  changes  which  the  tweny  odd  years  since  '87  have 
wrought  in  the  College  are  too  many  to  be  enumerated.  That 
President  D wight,  enjoying  the  fruits  of  a  green  old  age  still 
lives  to  reciprocate  in  some  degree  at  least,  the  warm  affec- 
tion which  '87  feels  toward  him  is  shown  by  a  recent  letter 
of  which  the  following  is  a  copy : 


NEW  HAVEN,  March  15,  1909 
GEORGE  E.  HILL,  ESQ., 

My  Dear  Mr.  Hill: — In  reply  to  your  kind  letter  offering 
me  the  privilege  of  addressing  a  few  words  of  greeting  to  your 
classmates  which  may  be  published  in  your  Class  Report  of 
this  year,  I  desire  to  express  my  thanks  and  to  request  you 
to  give  to  all  the  Yale  men  of  '87  the  assurance  of  my  affec- 
tionate regard.  Your  class  was  the  first  that  Avas  graduated 
under  my  administration,  and  I  may  well  have  a  special  in- 


SINCE    LAST    REPORT  1H 

terest  in  your  life  and  work.  I  can  scarcely  realize — so  quick- 
ly does  time  move  onward — that  nearly  twenty-two  years 
have  passed  since  your  graduation  and  that  you  have  all 
moved  forward  from  youth  to  middle  age.  But  you  may 
fitly  rejoice,  and  all  who  have  known  you  may  well  rejoice 
with  you,  in  the  knowledge  of  the  good  work  that  you  have 
done  and  are  doing,  and  in  the  evidence  and  the  assurance 
that  the  true  Yale  spirit  is  abiding  in  you  as  the  years  move 
onward. 

My  best  wishes  and  most  kindly  friendship  continue  with 
you,  and  I  hope  that  each  and  all  of  your  class  will  find  in 
your  personal  experience  that  life  grows  happier  as  you  grow 
older  and  that  your  outlook  toward  the  future  will  be  ever 
inspiring  for  your  truest  manhood. 

Let  me  ask  you  to  give  me  a  kindly  thought  as  you  think 
of  the  past  and  to  count  me  in  the  coming  time  as  one  who 
keeps  in  pleasant  remembrance  the  days  of  1887. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

TIMOTHY  DWIGHT. 


Men  over  forty  do  not  change  their  occupations  or  loca- 
tions very  materially.  Like  all  Yale  classes  of  the  past  fifty 
years  the  law  has  claimed  a  larger  percentage  of  '87  men  than 
any  other  profession  or  occupation ;  forty,  or  thirty-one  per 
cent  of  the  Class  being  lawyers. 

A  comparison  with  other  classes  of  about  our  time  may 
be  of  interest.

THE  VICENNIAL  REUNION. 


A  CONTRIBUTION  BY  PROFESSOR  WILLIAM  LYON  PHELPS. 


ATURDAY  morning,  June  27,  dawned  clear  and 
bright.  After  a  somewhat  prolonged  experience 
•with  the  New  Haven  climate,  I  find  that  the 
animadversions  made  upon  it  really  come  from 
envy  rather  than  from  a  capacity  or  an  inclina- 
tion to  tell  the  truth.  The  New  Haven  climate  as  a  normal 
climate,  is  actually  one  of  the  best,  if  not  the  best,  in  the 
world.  It  is  better  than  the  climate  of  Russia,  England, 
.Scotland,  France,  Germany,  Italy,  Spain,  Chicago,  Buffalo, 
Cleveland,  and  other  wild  and  barbarous  localities ;  it  does 
not  of  course  resemble  the  climate  of  Ceylon,  Hawaii,  Colorado 
Springs,  or  Southern  California ;  but  those  places  are  not 
climates  at  all ;  they  are  Sanitoria.  After  this  divagation  or 
cadenza,  I  return  to  my  muttons,  that  is,  to  the  lost  sheep 
of  the  House  of  Israel ;  more  specifically  to  the  remnants 
of  the  once  youthful  Class  of  '87. 

Of  all  the  members  of  the  Class  dwelling  in  the  dark- 
ness of  the  outlying  districts,  the  first  to  pierce  the  city  limits 
of  Elmtown  was  the  majestic  form  of  the  Secretary,  George 
Edwin  Hill.  One  of  the  greatest  myths  now  current  in  the 
class  is  the  myth  that  George  has  gained  in  clay-weight  since 
the  day  of  his  graduation.  Put  him  on  the  scales,  and  they 
will  fall  from  your  eyes.  In  his  freshman  year  he  was  in- 
deed a  lissome  thing;  to  have  seen  him  then  in  his  present 
waistcoat,  one  would  have  guessed  that  he  was  taking  the 
air  in  a  dirigible  balloon.  Yet  in  the  early  months  of  his 
course  he  pranced  about  the  campus  like  a  wild  gazelle. 
But  one  cannot  laugh  as  often  as  he  did  during  his  college 
career  without  having  tangible  results.  An  examination  of 


VICENNIAL    DAY

his  financial  accounts  from  Freshman  to  Senior  year  shows 
that  he  spent  some  thousands  of  dollars,  and  gained  sixty 
pounds !  Now  we  cannot  see  too  much  of  our  Class  Secre- 
tary ;  but  I  can  prove  that  we  see  no  more  of  him  now  than 
we  did  on  Commencement  Day.  If  he  takes  off  his  eye- 
glasses, he  tips  the  beam  at  precisely  the  gratuity  that  he 
handed  it  when  he  received  his  diploma.  Well,  George 


—  "MONDAY  WAS  SPENT  ON  AND  AROUND  THE  FENCE." 

ambled  up  Chapel  Street  shortly  after  luncheon,  and  entered 
my  front  door  at  a  dog  trot  exactly  as  the  digits  of  the  tall 
clock  in  my  hall  pointed  to  2  :19.  We  spent  the  golden  hours 
of  the  afternoon  in  discussing  various  plans  for  the  approach- 
ing event;  and  after  night  fell,  and  the  ways  of  the  earth  were 
overshadowed,  we  made  a  desperate  sortie  and  reached 
the  fastness  of  the  Graduates  Club  with  only  trifling  loss. 
There  we  found  a  select  bunch,  consisting  of  Burke,  Cowles, 
V.  Caldwell,  B.  Kent,  and — a  particularly  welcome  spectacle 
—Nervy  Bayne !  This  latter  gentleman  had  apparently 
changed  in  physical  contour  not  one  iota-subscript  since  the 
days  when  in  Freshman  year  he  essayed  strenuously  and 


22  CLASS  OF   EIGHTY-SEVEN 

vainly  to  put  'em  over  the  plate.  T.  L.  is  a  magnificent 
specimen  of  preserved  youth,  and  no  member  of  the  class 
received  a  more  sincere  greeting  than  he.  The  evening  was 
spent  pleasantly  in  reminiscent  gossip,  and  in  anticipatory 
delight. 

The  diurnal  motion  of  the  spotted  globe  pushed  New  Haven 
into  the  sunshine  at  an  early  hour  on  Sabbath  morning,  and 
caressingly  touched  the  whiskers  of  Benjy  Romaine,  till  they 
glowed  like  much  fine  gold,  and  dripped  honey  sweeter  than 
curry  and  the  curry-comb.  Benjy's  experience  was  remark- 
able and  dramatic,  and  proves  that  History  does  repeat  it- 
self. Immediately  upon  his  arrival  from  San  Francisco, 
Benjy  repaired  to  the  exact  house  on  Crown  Street  where  he 
had  lived  during  the  whole  of  his  Freshman  year.  The  same 
landlady  was  there  who  in  the  olden  time  had  taken  care  of 
him,  and  she  had  exactly  the  same  room  for  him,  empty, 
swept,  and  garnished.  No  man  was  ever  on  better  terms 
with  his  landlady  than  B.  Romaine  for  did  he  not  take  her 
to  the  Junior  Promenade?  Of  all  the  class,  no  one  enjoyed 
the  twentieth  reunion  more  than  this  man,  the  noblest  Romaine 
of  them  all,  for  he  had  traveled  far  to  see  the  fun,  and  every- 
body was  glad  to  greet  him.  Shortly  after  breakfast  Tracy, 
Diehl  and  Brownson  were  "among  those  present,"  and  the 
topic  of  conversation  turned  on  wedding  festivities  as  the 
burly  form  of  the  valedictorian  hove  in  sight.  T.  Curtis, 
now  of  Oregon,  had  been  married  only  a  few  days,  and  the 
Class  Secretary  had  officiated  as  best  man.  Speaking  of  mar- 
riages reminds  us  that  one  of  the  pleasantest  features  of  this 
reunion  was  the  fact  that  so  many  of  the  men  brought  their 
wives  with  them  to  share  the  fun. 

Sunday  afternoon  about  twenty  assembled  at  the  Class 
Headquarters  in  Old  South  Middle,  and  temporarily  froze 
their  features  for  a  photograph, — a  rehearsal  for  the  official  pic- 
ture which  was  to  come. 

Monday  morning  came  blushing,  clad  in  the  finest  of 
summer  weather  garments,  and  every  train  that  entered  the 
horrible  New  Haven  station  brought  some  '87  men  to  town. 
Jim  Sheffield  and  Sam  Knight  were  among  the  first  to  appear, 


VICENNIAL    DAY  23 

and  as  they  walked  up  Chapel  Street,  arm  in  arm,  many 
members  of  less  fortunate  classes  stared  silently  at  them, 
spell-bound  in  admiration.  The  feature  of  the  morning  was 
the  '87  reception  given  at  Grove  Hall  by  Mrs.  Thacher,  who 
carried  her  eighty  years  with  wonderful  ease  and  grace.  All 
the  '87  men  in  town  attended  this  reception  to  greet  the  wife 
of  one  of  Yale's  great  Professors,  and  as  she  talked  with 
another  splendid  octogenarienne,  Mrs.  Whitney,  we  were  all 
vividly  reminded  of  two  names  that  have  helped  to  make 
Yale  great.  Our  honored  and  beloved  President  Dwight 
attended  this  reception,  wearing  an  '87  button  that  one  of 
the  '87  wives  had  pinned  to  his  coat.  In  vigor,  cheerfulness, 
and  high  spirits,  no  undergraduate  of  to-day  has  anything  on 
Timothy  Dwight,  '49,  honorary  member  of  '87.  "Andy" 
Phillips,  who  had  previously  paid  a  formal  visit  to  '87's 
headquarters,  was  also  at  this  reception,  and  was  heartily 
welcomed.  Returning  to  South  Middle,  we  gave  a  hearty 
cheer  for  the  class  of  '57,  and  had  no  difficulty  in  recogniz- 
ing among  its  members  President  Northrop,  and  Professor 
Wheeler,  both  of  whom  had  done  much  to  make  the  class 
of  '87  the  finest  body  of  men  that  had  ever  graduated  from 
Yale. 

A  great  feature  of  our  reunion  was  the  genuine  old  Fence, 
which  was  placed  in  front  of  South  Middle,  and  which  was 
occupied  by  men  of  forty  years  of  age  from  early  morning 
till  long  after  midnight.  This  Fence  was  regarded  with 
silent  reverence  by  the  passing  students,  and  we  could  hear 
them  whispering  about  it  as  they  departed. 

On  Monday  afternoon,  in  the  hallowed  ground  in  front 
of  Durfee,  was  pulled  off  the  great  base  ball  match  between 
'87  and  '92.  Capt.  Bayne  selected  his  men  with  the  utmost 
care,  and  a  wonderful  fight  was  the  result.  The  ball  looked 
like  a  rice-pudding,  and  the  umpire  was  venal ;  two  things 
which  materially  assisted  in  our  splendid  victory.  The  score 
was  announced  first  as  402  runs  to  179,  in  favor  of  '92,  but 
after  the  umpire  had  been  given  a  good  cigar,  a  more  right- 
eous verdict  was  officially  promulgated,  and  the  rest  of  the 
afternoon  was  spent  in  celebrating.  In  the  midst  of  the 


24 


CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 


match,  time  was  called,  while  the  graduating  class,  which 
had  been  holding  its  class  histories  in  the  proximity,  marched 
across  our  diamond,  accompanied  by  many  fair  ones.  Cheers 
were  given  and  exchanged  with  great  spirit. 

Monday  evening  was  spent  on  and  around  the  fence,  which 
soon  appeared  exactly  as  in  our  time,  for  all  the  old  songs 
were  sung,  and  a  fringe  of  muckers  gathered  on  the  out- 
skirts, precisely  like  the  dear  dead  dog  days  beyond  recall. 
It  was  during  this  performance  that  the  present  writer  lost 
his  voice,  for  the  first  and  only  time  in  his  life,  and  during 


the  rest  of  the  week  emitted  only  stage  whispers.  Late  in 
the  evening  some  of  the  '87  wives  decorated  the  fence  with 
their  gracious  presence,  and  it  was  well  on  toward  morn  be- 
fore the  rails  were  deserted. 

Tuesday  was  again  brilliant  with  sunshine,  but  hot — O, 
it  was  hot,  and  it  grew  steadily  hotter  till  the  fall  of  night. 
Over  seventy-five  members  of  the  class  were  together  at  the 
fence,  and  the  official  picture  was  taken  about  noon.  As 
a  collection  of  deciduous  heads,  one  copy  has  been  deposited 


VICENNIAL    DAY  25 

in  the  archives  of  the  Forest  School ;  and  owing  to  the  glare 
of  the  sun,  the  expressions  on  the  features  of  the  men  look 
like  a  pathological  study.  Most  of  them  are  simply  "hang- 
ing" faces,  and  would  require  no  additional  or  verbal  evi- 
dence in  a  murder  trial.  A  meeting  was  then  held  in  the  room 
in  Osborn  where  English  Literature  is  said  to  be  taught  by 
a  member  of  the  class.  The  hat  was  passed  for  extras,  and 
was  filled  to  overflowing  with  various  images  and  superscrip- 
tions. Then  the  class  adjourned  to  the  University  Dining 
Hall,  where  in  heat  that  will  make  Tophet  seem  raw,  a  lunch 
was  hastily  swallowed.  We  then  formed  in  order  of  march 
on  College  Street,  and  Billy  Hand  led  the  way  toward  the 
campus  with  the  same  old  flag  that  he  has  always  carried. 
In  spite  of  all  the  hilarity  of  this  occasion,  many  a  man  had 
a  lump  in  his  throat  as  he  followed  the  '8?  flag.  On  the 
campus  the  class  reformed — the  only  time  such  a  thing  has 
ever  been  asked  of  it — and  the  line  of  march  proceeded  out 
Vanderbilt  gateway,  to  High  Street,  down  High  to  George, — 
where  trolley  cars  were  taken  to  the  Yale  Field.  Around 
and  around  the  Field  we  marched,  winning  universal  en- 
comiums for  our  splendid  style,  youth,  and  beauty.  The 
game  was  a  terrible  shock  to  us,  and  many  members  of  the 
class  fainted  under  the  awful  surprise,  for  Yale  actually 
won !  !  !  Of  course  this  made  it  seem  like  a  real  reunion, 
for  in  our  day  we  knew  little  but  diamond  victories,  but  it  is 
so  long  since  anything  like  this  has  happened  that  we 
rubbed  our  eyes  to  see  if  Stagg  were  not  in  the  box,  and  Dann 
whipping  'em  down  to  second.  After  the  game,  in  the  fear- 
ful heat,  we  marched  all  the  way  in,  and  stopped  first  before 
the  residence  of  the  greatest  College  Dean  in  the  World — 
Henry  P.  Wright.  He  made  us  a  heart-warming  speech,  and 
as  we  went  away  we  knew  that  the  classes  to  come  had 
every  reason  to  envy  us ;  for  no  matter  how  great  Deans  and 
Professors  may  be  in  the  future,  there  is  only  one  Baldy 
Wright.  Then  we  marched,  larding  the  lean  earth  as  we 
walked  along,  to  the  home  of  President  Dwight.  He  stood 
at  the  door,  wearing  the  '87  insignia,  and  made  us  one  of  his 
incomparable  speeches.  Thence  we  proceeded  to  the  house 


26  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

of  President  Hadley,  who  showed  that  he  remembered  us 
collectively  and  individually.  Back  to  the  campus;  break 
ranks ;  and  every  man  hunted  a  bath,  so  that  he  could  sit 
down  to  the  dinner  in  his  right  mind. 

The  dinner  is  described  elsewhere.  By  nine  o'clock  on 
Commencement  morning  every  one  had  recovered  and  was 
sitting  on  and  near  the  Fence  in  the  warm  Commencement 
sunshine.  This  was  a  delightful  experience.  We  let  the 
great  procession  of  graduates  go  by,  proud  to  see  among 
them  Fred  Hill,  our  first  "honorary,"  and  spent  the  hours  in 
cheerful  smoke-talk.  We  found  that  many  things  had  hap- 
pened. Toot  Bigelow  had  developed  into  a  genuine  literary 
star  of  the  first  magnitude ;  Victor  Caldwell  was  financing 
the  entire  middle  West;  Jack  Hume's  name  had  become  a 
terror  to  evil-doers ;  Irvin  had  Dayton  so  tame  that  it  was 
eating  out  of  his  hand ;  Keeler  had  almost  forgotten  that  he 
had  once  roomed  with  Blondy,  and  gave  us  many  good  stories 
of  fair  Southern  climes :  Rosenzweig  had  Kansas  City  where 
it  couldn't  get  away ;  and  Leverett  made  a  dramatic  climax 
by  insisting  that  George  Hill  was  Middlebrook ! 

During  the  afternoon,  many  folded  their  tents  like  the 
scarabs,  and  silently  stole  away.  Few  remained  for  the  race 
at  New  London,  where  we  did  what  our  daddies  used  to  do; 
affectionate  goodbyes,  promises  to  meet  again,  and  hopes  for 
future  prosperity  were  interchanged;  and  the  condition  of  the 
headquarters  was  finally  immortalized  by  Billy  Burns,  in  the 
following  poem  that  he  left  in  the  old  room  in  South  Middle : 

"  'Tis  Thursday  afternoon ;  and  all  the  gang 
Have  left  the  town,  excepting  only  me. 

Forlorn  and  desolate,  I  seem  to  hang 

Like  Dr.  Holmes'  last  leaf  upon  the  tree. 

Another  hour,  and  I  too  will  be  gone, 

And  Vigentennial  will  be  no  more. 
We'll  face  the  future  with  to-morrow's  dawn, 

And  bravely  enter  on  the  "second  score." 


THE  VICENNIAL  DINNER. 


HE  preceding  chapter  from  the  pen  of  the  Toastmaster 
but  gives  the  setting  of  the  jewel.  The  jewel  itself — 
or  rather  the  many  jewels  of  thought — as  presented 
by  the  stenographer  who  was  smuggled  in  to  the 
dinner  as  the  musicians  were  thrown  out,  follows : 

The  men  who  were  crowded  into  the  all  too  small  dinine 
room  of  the  University  Club,  were  seventy-four  in  number. 
If  any  names  are  omitted  it  is  because  their  owners  failed  to 
register.  The  great  roster  of  the  day,  however,  shows  the 
following  registrations : 

Archibald,  Adams,  Burke,  Bayne,  Brownson,  Burns,  V. 
Caldwell,  Clarke,  Coit,  Cobb,  Chambers,  Cowles,  Corwin, 
Curtis,  Chase,  Copley,  Coxe,  Cullinan,  Dann,  Diehl,  C.  Fer- 
ris, H.  Ferris,  Gates,  Goodenough,  Gray,  F,  Hill,  G.  Hill, 
Hare,  Hand,  Hartridge,  Haven,  Hume,  Hawkes,  Irvin, 
Jenks,  C.  Jennings,  O.  Jennings,  Kent,  S.  Knight,  C.  Knight, 
King,  Kirkham,  Keeler,  Ketcham,  Lewis,  Leeds,  W.  Lud- 
ington,  Maxwell,  R.  Morse,  Middlebrook,  Norton,  Phelps, 
Pritchard,  A.  Perkins,  H.  Perkins,  Penney,  Pettee,  Pomeroy, 
Romaine,  Rosenzweig,  Rogers,  Setchell,  Scoville,  Sheffield, 
Tracy,  Thacher,  E.  Trowbridge,  F.  Trowbridge,  Tuttle,  Tay- 
lor, Thomas,  Torrey,  Washburn,  F.  Woodward,  G.  Wood- 
ward, Wotkyns. 

To  this  list  should  be  added  the  name  of  George  R. 
Carter,  '88  S.,  Governor  of  Hawaii,  who  was  present  a  part 
of  the  evening. 

What  was  set  before  us  in  the  way  of  food  and  drink, 
matters  little,  but  the  ante-prandial  announcement  of  it,  read 
as  follows :

When  the  toastmaster  arose  to  call  to  order  the  expect- 
ant assemblage  it  was  discovered  that  for  the  first  time  in  his 
life  he  was  practically  speechless.  His  usual  mellifluous  voice 
had  been  sacrificed  to  the  enthusiasm  of  the  game. 

After  several  futile  efforts  to  make  himself  heard,  he 
found  a  few  remnants  of  a  badly  broken  voice  and  forced  it 
to  convey  to  the  Class  the  following  well  chosen  words: 

THE  TOASTMASTER: 

For  the  first  time  in  my  life,  I  have  lost  my  voice !  I  have 
been  celebrating  this  '87  re-union  by  the  hallooing  of  anthems, 


SEVENTY-EIGHT    AND    EIGHTY-SEVEN., 

and  I  have  actually  lost  my  voice.  I  have  not  however  lost 
my  nerve.  I  had  a  large  number  of  things  to  say,  but  you 
won't  be  able  to  hear  what  I  have  to  say  for  I  am  unable  to  say 
it.  As  I  look  over  the  men  here  I  see  a  great  difference  between 
the  class  to-day  and  the  class  twenty  years  ago.  It  is  chiefly  an 
abdominal  addition.  If  you  look,  you  will  see  that  what  I 
say  is  correct.  Nearly  every  man  has  a  large  protruding  ab- 


VICENNIAL    DAY  31 

dominal  cavity.     Fred  Chase  of  Waterbury  is,  of  course,  an 
exception. 

I  can't  help  thinking  to-night  how  much  the  class  of 
'87  has  accomplished.  It's  a  pleasant  thing  to  remember  that 
while  our  class  was  not  particularly  distinguished  in  college 
for  anything  in  any  special  line,  it  was  a  class  almost  without 
party,  and  it  really  did  stand  for  democracy. 

A  few  years  ago  in  one  of  the  classes  a  student  was  asked, 
"What  is  your  favorite  character  in  fiction?"  And  the  student 
replied,  "My  favorite  character  in  fiction  is  Yale  Democracy." 
Although  it  is  impossible  that  democracy  should  exist  in  col- 
lege to-day  as  it  did  in  our  time,  the  young  men  of  1907  are 
socially  democratic.  Still,  the  real  democracy  has  remained  in 
our  class,  and  it  is  a  pleasant  thing  to  think  that  so  many  of  our 
men  have  gone  out  into  the  world  and  accomplished  so  much. 
The  condition  of  politics  in  various  parts  of  the  country  would 
be  very  different  to-night  from  what  it  is  were  it  not  for  men 
like  Billy  Kent  and  Jim  Sheffield  and  Woodward  and  Torrey— 
(old  white  haired  Torrey  there  looks  ten  thousand  years  old.) 
Old  Torrey  there  looks  as  if  he  had  been  born  in  B.  C.  To-day 
a  man  asked  me  if  he  didn't  belong  to  the  Class  of  '57.  Now, 
old  Torrey  is  a  member  of  the  judiciary  committee  that  makes 
the  laws  in  our  legislature. 

John  Diehl.  John  went  into  a  dentist's  office  and  sat 
down  to  have  some  teeth  fixed.  The  dentist  said,  "Will  you 
open  your  mouth,  please?"  John  did  so  and  the  dentist  said, 
"Not  so  wide,  I  wish  to  stand  outside." 

John  always  was  a  square  Deal,  and  he  is  going  to  talk 
to  us  about  Milestones.  John  is  at  the  head  of  aa  educational 
institution  in  Erie,  Pennsylvania.  Erie,  Pennsylvania,  is  the 
absolute  limit,  but  it  isn't  half  so  bad  a  town  as  it  was  before 
John  went  there.  I  met  a  man  from  Erie  once,  and  I  asked 
him,  "Where  do  you  come  from?"  He  said,  "Erie."  And  he 
said  John  Diehl  was  one  of  the  biggest  citizens  in  that  town. 
And  I  want  John  to  tell  us  how  he  lives  in  that  place. 


32  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

JOHN  C.  DIEHL. 

MR.   TOASTMASTER,  AND   CLASSMATES   OF  '87: 

In  one  of  its  weak  moments  the  class  committee  asked  me  if  I 
would  not  respond  to  a  toast  this  evening,  and  I  thoughtlessly  agreed 
to  do  so,  but  I  feel  very  much  like  the  little  girl  who  entered  the 
drug  store  and  said  to  the  druggist,  "Can  you  fix  castor  oil  so  you 
can't  taste  it?"  And  he  said,  "I  think  so.  By  the  way,  little  girl, 
wouldn't  you  like  a  glass  of  soda  water?"  And  she  said,  "Yes,  I  do 
like  it;  it's  very  kind  of  you  to  give  me  some."  And  she  drank  the 
soda  water.  Then  he  said  to  her,  "Did  you  taste  it?"  And  she  said, 
"What?"  "Why,"  he  said,  "the  castor  oil!  It  was  in  that  soda  water." 
"Why,"  she  said,  "that  castor  oil  was  for  mamma,  what  shall  I  do?" 

Now,  you  know  in  the  case  of  the  little  girl  and  in  my  own  case, 
if  it  were  done,  it  were  well  it  were  done  quickly. 

Probably  the  most  famous  row  of  Mile  Stones  in  history,  or  one 
of  the  most  famous,  is  the  row  of  Mile  Stones  clear  across  the  bound- 
ary of  my  native  State  of  Pennsylvania  and  the  State  of  Maryland. 
For  a  long  time  the  family  of  William  Penn  and  the  family  of  young 
Lord  Baltimore  had  disputed  about  this  boundary  line,  and  finally 
they  sent  over  to  England  for  two  celebrated  mathematicians  and 
surveyors  Charles  Mason  and  Jeremiah  Dixon,  and  they  ran  this 
boundary  line  244  miles  west,  and  at  the  end  of  every  mile  they 
planted  a  mile  stone,  and  every  fifth  mile  was  larger  than  the  rest,  and 
on  the  north  face  of  this  stone  were  the  arms  of  the  family  of  Penn, 
and  on  the  south  face  the  arms  of  the  family  of  Lord  Baltimore. 
This  row  of  Mile  Stones  is  surpassed  in  history  alone  by  the  row 
of  Mile  Stones  that  is  to  be  made  by  the  Class  of  '87,  since  it  left 
Yale  College.  Some  of  our  Mile  Stones  are  like  these  particular 
Mile  Stones  but  they  have  on  them  on  the  back  the  arms  and  perhaps 
some  other  charming  bits  of  anatomy  of  the  New  Haven  girl,  and 
on  the  front  the  arms  and  the  features  (becoming  clearer  and  clearer), 
of  one  that  was  to  take  a  higher  place  than  any  New  Haven  girl 
or  any  other  girl  could  take. 

The  first  large  Mile  Stone  in  our  history,  Triennial,  has  engraved 
upon  it  in  large  letters  A-B-E-L-L  and  a  baby  boy  that  has  in  his 
hand  the  prize  of  a  hotly  contested  race. 

Between  triennial  and  sexennial,  the  class  began  to  change.  I 
know  that  I  cannot  express  what  ought  to  be  recorded  of  its  different 
phases,  but  I  find  in  George  Hill's  book,  that  forty-six  of  the  class 
were  married  by  the  time  we  reached  sexennial,  and  that  there  were 
born  to  these  thirty  children.  Decennial  came  along  and  classmates 
no  longer  looked  quite  the  same.  This  fact  was  brought  home  to 
me  quite  clearly  the  other  day  by  my  boy.  I  have  a  boy,  twelve, 


VICENNIAL    DAY  33 

named  Frederick,  and  a  girl  seven,  named  Annabel,  and  the  baby  is 
Samuel — 

A  VOICE:     Hurrah  for  Samuel. 

They  had  saved  up  money  to  buy  a  phonograph  and  sundry 
musical  records,  and  we  were  sitting  at  the  table  when  somebody 
said,  "Where  is  Annabel?  She  seems  to  be  gone."  "Yes,  she  has 
been  invited  out  to  supper,"  said  her  mother,  "she  has  been  invited 
out  a  good  many  evenings.  She  is  getting  quite  popular."  "Well," 
said  Frederick,  "if  she  is  popular,  I  guess  I  must  be  classical."  "Yes, 
you  are,  Frederick;  you  are  classical,"  said  his  mother.  "Well,"  he 
said,  "then  Samuel  is  rag  time." 

So  it  seems  to  me  as  we  are  going  on  from  mile  stone  to  mile 
stone  there  are  certainly  changes  that  are  coming  among  us.  There 
are  more  billiard  balls  appearing  in  place  of  the  covered  pate. 

Now,  a  few  words  with  regard  to  vicennial,  and  you  will  be  glad 
that  you  are  through  with  this  ordeal.  The  children  in  a  little  school 
were  asked — (I  give  this  for  our  Class  Secretary  and  others  that  are 
in  the  same  condition.  They  may  be  worried  just  the  same  as  the 
little  girl  was  in  the  school.)  They  were  asked  to  a  make  a  picture 
of  what  they  would  like  to  be  when  grown  up.  The  teacher  came 
down  and  looked  at  the  slates  and  this  little  girl's  slate  was  empty. 
She  said  to  the  little  girl,  "Why,  wouldn't  you  like  to  be  something?" 
"Yes,"  said  the  little  girl.  "Well,"  she  said,  "why  don't  you  draw  it?" 
"Why,"  she  said,  "I  don't  know  how."  The  teacher  said,  "What 
would  you  like  to  be?"  And  the  little  girl  said,  "Why  I  would  like 
to  be  married,  but  I  don't  know  how  to  draw  it." 

Now,  we  hope  that  our  class  secretary  and  others  of  this  class 
who  still  have  that  before  them  will  know  how  to  draw  it. 

We   find  that  the   other   day   our  valedictorian   found   his   match. 

And  in  this  case  again  we  find  that  scripture  has  been  verified. 
That  the  first  shall  be  last  and  the  last  shall  be  first. 

Certainly  I  am  very  proud  to  be  a  member  of  the  Class  of  '87. 
It  has  been  said  that  we  make  our  friends  before  the  age  of  forty, 
and  acquaintances  afterward.  I  am  certainly  very  happy,  and  I  know 
you  are  happy,  that  we  met  each  other  when  we  did.  Most  of  us 
have  now  reached  about  the  age  of  forty,  and  I  am  very  proud  to  call 
every  one  of  you  seated  around  this  table  a  friend. 

My  wife  and  the  rest  of  the  family  and  friends  at  home  have  a 
very  exalted  idea  of  the  Class  of  '87.  They  have  an  idea  that  this 
is  the  class  that  made  Yale  famous. 

President  McKinley  falls  at  the  hands  of  an  assassin  and  a  man 
takes  up  and  conducts  the  prosecution  in  such  a  skilful  and  diplo- 
matic manner  that  they  say,  "Who  is  that  man  Penney?"  "Why," 
I  say  to  them  "he  was  a  class  mate  of  mine  in  college." 


34  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

And  we  see  a  picture  in  Harper's  Weekly  of  a  young  man 
that  has  been  advanced  to  some  high  office  in  New  York  City,  and 
we  see  his  name  is  J.  R.  Sheffield.  "Who  is  this  man?"  They  say, 
"Why,  a  class  mate  of  mine,  certainly;  the  class  of  1887.  Used  to 
sing  on  the  glee  club  with  him." 

And  then  we  see  in  the  Yale  Alumni  Weekly  the  classical  fea- 
tures of  our  toastmaster.  "Who  is  this  Prof.  William  Lyon  Phelps?" 
"Why,  Phelps!  I  used  to  play  tennis  with  him  in  college.  A  class 
mate  of  mine." 

MR.  PHELPS:     And  you  used  to  get  licked  too. 

We  had  a  debate  in  our  school — our  high  school,  and  I  asked 
the  president  of  Cornell  University  to  name  some  educator  from 
Ohio  to  serve  as  judge  for  us,  and  whom  should  he  name  but  Prin- 
cipal Pettee  of  the  University  School,  Cleveland.  He  came  down 
and  decided  against  me  and  my  school. 

You  see  he  arose  above  all  feelings  of  mere  favoritism,  and  he 
was  true  to  his  word  and  his  work,  and — I  may  say,  to  his  friends. 

Why,  it  has  been  said  that  the  Class  of  '87  was  even  responsible 
for  the  cold  weather  we  had  this  Spring. 

You  know  that  scientists — great  scientists  such  as  Setchell,  Cornish 
and  others  of  that  stamp,  have  told  us  that  we  are  bound  to  have 
warm  or  cold  weather  during  the  year — of  about  the  same  amount. 

A  certain  member  of  our  class  kept  up  such  a  continual  Thaw 
in  New  York  City  when  we  should  have  had  the  cold  weather  that 
the  cold  weather  came  in  the  spring  instead. 

My  friends  tell  me  that  I  am  very  much  like  a  man  that  came 
home  from  England,  and  wished  to  pose  as  a  literary  man.  "I 
suppose  you  knew  Thackeray?"  "Oh,  yes,  Thackeray  was  a  personal 
friend  of  mine?"  "You  knew  Dickens?"  "Oh,  yes,  went  to  school 
with  Dickens."  "You  knew  Kipling?"  "Used  to  play  golf  with  Kip- 
ling." "You  knew  George  Eliot?"  "Slept  with  George  Eliot  many 
a  time." 

Now,  fellows,  I  have  enjoyed  very  much  coming  back  here  and 
being  with  you,  renewing  my  youth,  renewing  my  friendship  and  renew- 
ing my  loyalty  to  Yale,  and  in  closing  I  give  you  this  sentiment: 

"You  to  the  left  and  I  to  the  right, 
For  the  ways  of  men  must  sever; 

And  it  well  may  be  for  a  day  or  a  night, 
And  it  well  may  be  forever. 

But  whether  we  meet,  or  whether  we  part, 
For  our  ways  are  past  our  knowing; 

A  pledge  from  the  heart  to  its  fellow  heart, 
On  the  ways  that  we  all  are  going. 

Here's  luck!  for  we  know  not  where  we  are  going." 


VICENNIAL    DAY  35 

THE  TOASTMASTER  : 

We  have  with  us  the  Governor  of  Hawaii.  Now  the 
Governor  of  Hawaii  is  a  Yale  man,  and  a  contemporary  of 
ours.  Mr.  Carter,  who  has  been  good  enough  to  come  in  here 
with  us  is  '88  Sheff.  as  you  may  remember,  and  you  have  seen 
what  he  did  in  certain  lines  of  activity  as  an  undergraduate. 
Since  that  time  he  has  made  good  in  every  single  line  that 
he  has  undertaken,  and  he  has  undertaken  big  things.  He 
has  taken  up  what  Kipling  calls  "The  white  man's  burden." 
And  he  has  carried  it.  And  to-day  he  has  one  of  the  most 
respected  and  honored  names  in  the  whole  American  Republic 
or  Empire,  or  whatever  you  like  to  call  it.  Here  again  is 
a  man  who  has  arrived,  who  has  done  some  thing,  and  it's 
a  fine  thing  to  have  a  man  of  that  sort  with  us,  and  I  am 
going  to  call  for  three  cheers  for  Governor  Carter,  and  the 
Sandwich  Islands. 

(Great  Applause.) 

A  VOICE:  I  don't  know  the  governor  of  Hawaii,  but  I 
know  George  Carter,  and  I  propose  three  times  three  for 
George  Carter. 

(Cheering.) 

A  VOICE  :     Take  off  your  coat. 

THE  SPEAKER:     I  will. 

GEORGE  R.   CARTER: 

MR.  TOASTMASTER  AND  GENTLEMEN  OF  '87: 

Gentlemen,  I  come  from  the  land  of  liquid  sunshine,  where  spark- 
ling surf  dashes  on  the  white  sands — and  ozone  fills  the  air  the  year 
around — I  come  from  Hawaii  with  a  greeting  to  Yale  and  to  '87. 
There  are  thirty-six  of  us  Yale  men  in  the  University  Club  in  Hon- 
olulu. Or  were  when  I  left  for  here.  All  of  us  started  for  New 
Haven  but  walking  is  bad,  and  I  am  the  only  one  that  has  arrived! 
as  far  as  I  know. 

There  is  nothing  that  gives  me  greater  pleasure  than  to  meet 
you  all  again.  You  may  talk  what  you  like  about  the  greatness  of 
'87.  You  may  extol  your  virtues,  your  accomplishments  and  your 
achievements,  but  the  greatest  thing  that  '87  has  ever  done  was  to 
make  '88.  Here  is  Jennings  over  here  and  John  Rogers  and  many 
of  you  that  I  cannot  recall  by  name  as  I  look  around  the  table— 


36  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

A  VOICE:     Will  you  meet  us  in  Heaven,  George? 

SPEAKER:     No,  we  may  not  all  get  there. 

But  I  want  to  pay  my  tribute  to  '87,  and  I  am  glad  of  this  op- 
portunity of  doing  so.  It  was  the  '87  boat,  you  will  remember,  that 
'88  bought,  and  went  in  the  Freshman  race  with  Harvard.  If  the 
boat  had  lasted,  we  would  have  won  the  race,  for  '87  was  our  model, 
our  ideal. 

You  fellows  used  that  boat  so  hard  that  when  we  got  into  the 
race  the  boat  deck  gave  away,  filled  up,  and  we  rowed  under  water. 
It  was  our  ambition  to  make,  like  '87,  that  boat  victorious  as  it  ever 
had  been  before. 

Gentlemen,  there  is  nothing  that  gives  me  greater  pleasure  than 
to  come  this  distance  and  see  your  faces  again,  and  I  appreciate  ex- 
ceedingly the  opportunity.  And  I  want  to  propose  the  good  health 
of  '87.  It  needs  no  comment  from  me;  it  is  doing  its  work,  and  it 
will  continue  to  do  so.  (Applause).  Good  luck  to  '87. 

THE  To ASTM ASTER  : 

Sam  Knight  is  going  to  speak  to  us  in  a  moment.  In 
our  Freshman  year  there  were  only  three  gentlemen  in  the 
class :  Sam  Knight,  Jim  Sheffield  and — the  other  I  will  not 
mention.  I  used  to  look  at  Sam  Knight  and  Jim  Sheffield 
with  admiration. 

Sam  sat  in  front  of  me  in  Freshman  year.  He  was  the 
most  dignified  man  that  I  ever  saw.  Fie  hasn't  changed  yet. 
You  never  get  on  to  Sam.  I  haven't  got  on  to  him  yet. 
It  must  hurt  like  the  devil  to  keep  up  that  bluff  for  twenty- 
five  years.  (Laughter).  If  I  had  a  bluff  like  that  they  would 
be  on  to  me  in  about  three  minutes. 

Sam  always  had  this  elegance,  this  refinement  this — I 
never  heard  him  use  a  slang  phrase.  I  never  heard  him 
disport  himself  in  any  fresh  or  foolish  manner.  He  was  a 
good  scholar  and  not  a  vulgar  scholar  like  John  Pomeroy. 
John  Pomeroy's  recitations  were  so  good  that  they  were 
almost  indecent.  I  never  heard  anything  like  them.  The 
only  time  Sam  Knight  said  anything  impulsive  was  when 
the  faculty  got  his  marks  mixed  up  with  Doc  Knight's.  This 
is  the  absolute  gospel  truth.  Sam  Knight  forgot  his  com- 
posure and  started  to  raise  H —  with  the  faculty,  and  did  it. 


VICENNIAL    DAY  37 

Sam  Knight  began  right.  Sam  said,  "I  want  to  work." 
"I  don't  want  to  work  too  much."  "I  want  to  study  well, 
but  not  too  well."  "I  want  to  do  everything  as  it  should  be 
done." 

I  asked  a  man  once  "who  was  the  most  perfect  gentle- 
man on  the  Pacific  Coast,"  and  he  said,  "Sam  Knight  is,  and 
we  haven't  found  him  out  yet."  He  said,  "You  can't  touch 
him  in  conversation ;  and  he  is  speckless  in  oratory."  In  after 
dinner  speeches  he  doesn't  give  us  anything  too  long  or  any- 
thing too  short,  always  just  right.  How  the  deuce  do  you 
do  it,  Sam?  I  like  Sam  Knight,  not  only  because  he  is  so 
handsome  but  because  his  face  sheds  rays  of  intelligence. 

As  a  freshman  his  face  beamed  with  intelligence,  his  eyes 
shone  with  the  brilliance  of  successful  maturity ;  the  language 
that  flowed  from  his  lips  was  like  bits  of  silver. 

I  call  upon  the  great  gentleman  of  '87.  Samuel  is  the 
real  thing. 

Let  her  go,  Samuel. 

SAMUEL  KNIGHT: 

MR.    TOASTMASTER    AND    GENTLEMEN  I 

I  don't  know  how  I  can  say  anything  after  this  most  fulsome, 
and  in  many  respects  far  from  truthful  eulogy  the  toastmaster  has 
been  kmd  enough  to  pronounce  upon  me.  It  has  fairly  overwhelmed 
me,  and  I  trust  that  a  few  of  those  tender  sentiments  will  be  found 
preserved  in  eptiaphs  upon  my  tombstone,  or  rather  an  expurgated 
edition  of  them.  Yet,  gentlemen,  I  suppose  there  is  no  one  here 
who  has  not  something  in  his  heart  upon  which  he  could  speak 
which  has  been  suggested  by  his  life  in  the  last  twenty  years. 
Perhaps  we  have  not  all  of  us  been  elected  to  membership  in  the 
Ananias  Club,  but  yet  we  are  here  with  the  same  old  spirit,  the  same 
old  capacity  to  drink  that  Billy  Kent  had,  and  perhaps  now  has,  and 
the  same  old  capacity  to  enjoy  the  good  things  of  life  that  we  had 
twenty  years  ago. 

Now,  the  toastmaster  has  given  me  as  a  toast,  "The  Still  Small 
Voice."  I  commenced  to  feel  in  me  a  still  small  voice  a  little  while 
ago  when  the  dinner  did  not  come  on  with  any  degree  of  alacrity. 
I  didn't  know  but  that  was  the  still  small  voice  that  the  toastmaster 
had  reference  to.  I  was  afraid  for  a  while  that  this  dinner,  from  a 
culinary  standpoint  wholly,  would  not  come  up  to  the  description 


38  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY  SEVEN 

of  a  good  dinner  which  I  heard  given  by  an  epicurean  friend  of 
mine  during  the  course  of  a  trial  before  a  justice  of  the  peace.  He 
had  brought  suit  for  two  hundred  and  ninety-nine  dollars  damages 
against  the  Western  Union  Telegraph  Company  by  reason  of  the 
latter's  failure  to  seasonably  deliver  to  him  a  telegram  at  Benicia 
inviting  him  to  come  down  from  there  to  San  Francisco  and  attend 
a  dinner,  which  he  had  every  reason  to  believe  would  be  a  good 
dinner.  He  alleged  as  his  damage  his  inability  to  reach  San  Fran- 
cisco in  time  for  the  feast.  Upon  his  cross-examination,  he  was 
asked  by  the  Telegraph  Company's  attorney,  "Will  you  be  kind 
enough  to  tell  us  what  you  mean  by  a  good  dinner?"  He  replied, 
"Sir  I  regard  a  good  dinner  as  a  dinner  where  you  sit  three  feet 
from  the  table  and  eat  until  you  touch."  But  happily  our  fears  on 
this  score  speedily  vanished. 

Possibly  the  sentiment  of  my  toast  is  really  an  invitation  from 
the  toastmaster  to  make  my  voice  still  smaller.  However,  he  has 
suggested  that  before  I  sit  down  I  should  devote  my  still  small  voice 
to  saying  something  about  the  conditions  in  San  Francisco.  At  first 
I  was  a  little  reluctant  to  discuss  a  topic  of  that  kind,  but  I  have 
had  so  many  inquiries  since  I  have  come  here  about  my  native  burg 
that  perhaps  it  will  not  be  amiss  for  me  to  say  something  about  one 
or  two  phases  of  the  existing  conditions  there. 

We  have  been  having  a  pretty  hard  time  of  it  out  there,  as  the 
newspaper  despatches  show.  We  had  first  a  physical  upheaval,  fol- 
lowed by  a  fire,  which,  God  knows,  was  bad  enough;  and  this  has 
been  followed  by  a  still  greater  moral  upheaval. 

We  are  going  through  what  a  great  many  of  the  large  com- 
munities and  places  have  gone  through  in  this  country.  New  York, 
Philadelphia,  Chicago,  St.  Louis  and  Milwaukee  have  experienced 
this  municipal  graft.  I  think  George  Carter  in  Honolulu  found  and 
squelched  it  in  its  incipiency  two  or  three  years  ago,  and  we  had 
it  in  Alaska  seven  years  ago. 

The  form  of  graft  we  find  in  San  Francisco  is  not  particularly 
novel  in  character,  but  in  the  West  it  has  assumed  certain  new 
phases.  For  some  little  time,  it  has  been  generally  known  that 
there  existed  in  San  Francisco  a  great  deal  of  municipal  graft, 
which  was  prevalent  in  a  number  of  different  departments.  This 
system  of  graft  was  cultivated  by  Mayor  Schmitz  and  by  his  boss, 
Abe  Ruef,  who,  I  regret  to  say,  is  a  college  man  graduated  from  a 
Western  University,  and  the  voracity  of  these  municipal  pirates 
grew  greater  and  greater.  They  controlled  all  of  the  departments, 
and  Schmitz  had  been  elected  and  re-elected  twice  by  the  voters 
of  San  Francisco.  Each  time  there  was  placed  in  office  with  him 
a  greater  number  of  men  who  were  more  and  more  closely  identified 
with  him  and  his  method  of  doing  business.  The  decent  elements 


VICENNIAL    DAY  39 

were  largely  divided  into  two  classes — rather  into  two  parties,  the 
Democratic  and  Republican;  and  each  of  those  parties  had  insisted 
upon  placing  a  complete  ticket  in  the  field,  while  all  of  the  irrespon- 
sible elements,  pulling  together  with  those  from  the  Tenderloin 
and  others  similarly  disposed,  went  solidly  for  Schmitz.  After  each 
election,  the  greed  of  these  municipal  pirates  became  worse  and 
worse,  until  the  situation  became  well  nigh  unendurable. 

This  was  in  the  fall  of  1904.  There  were  then  two  public  ser- 
vice corporations  whose  officers,  elected  just  prior  to  this  time, 
determined  to  do  what  they  could  to  rid  the  city  of  grafters  and  the 
boss  administration. 

Therupon  a  movement  was  started  with  this  object  in  view. 
A  small  temporary  organization  was  formed  for  the  purpose — it 
was  really  not  an  organization,  it  was  simply  a  gathering  of  four 
men — for  the  purpose  of  raising  a  fund  sufficient  to  start  a  move- 
ment of  this  kind  and  put  it  on  its  feet,  and  to  mature  and  carry 
out  plans  whereby  the  opposition  to  Schmitz  and  to  that  entire 
crew  of  grafters  could  be  centralized  in  one  political  ticket  at  the 
approaching  municipal  election,  instead  of  two  as  formerly. 

The  plan  was  carried  out,  and  later  a  general  committee  of  one 
hundred  business  men — representative  business  men  of  San  Francisco — 
was  selected  for  the  purpose  of  giving  this  movement  weight  and 
character,  and  to  control  it  in  the  selection  of  its  candidates.  Al- 
though their  connection  with  the  campaign  was  not  known  to  the 
public,  the  originators  of  the  movement  withdrew  from  it  in  order 
that  their  direct  or  indirect  association  with  one  or  the  other  of 
these  two  public  service  corporations  might  not  in  any  possible 
way  prejudice  the  movement  in  the  eyes  of  the  people,  who 
believe  that  no  moral  good  can  come  from  anything  of  a  corporate 
nature.  And  so  this  movement  was  put  on  its  feet.  Pursuant 
to  the  plans  thus  formed,  one  ticket  for  the  support  of  the  decent 
element  was  put  in  the  field,  and  ratified  by  both  the  Democratic 
and  the  Republican  City  Conventions. 

The  only  issue  raised  was  that  of  graft  versus  anti-graft.  The 
ticket  was  eventually  headed  by  a  young  man  who  had  made  an 
excellent  public  record,  and  the  indications  were  that  this  ticket 
would  succeed.  Francis  J.  Heney,  who  is  now  in  charge  of  the  pros- 
ecution of  the  so-called  graft  cases,  espoused  this  reform  movement 
and  promised,  at  the  huge  closing  meeting  of  those  supporting  the 
reform  ticket  that  if  the  voters  of  San  Francisco  elected  its  candi- 
dates and  desired  his  services  as  prosecuting  officer,  he  would  under- 
take to  put  the  grafting  boss  behind  the  bars  of  San  Quentin,  our 
state  prison.  What  was  the  result?  Schmitz  and  his  entire  ticket, 
composed  in  many  instances  of  the  scum  of  the  city  were  elected 
by  substantial  majorities.  His  candidate  for  city  and  county  attor-

CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 


ney  thought  so  -little  of  his  chances  of  election  that  he  refused  to 
contribute  twenty  dollars  toward  his  campaign  expenses;  and  these 
fellows  were  all  swept  into  office  by  the  votes  of  the  labor  union 
men,  who  rather  prided  themselves  on  electing  a  labor  union  ad- 
ministration and  by  the  votes  of  the  tenderloin  and  of  similar 
elements,  as  well  as  others  who  apparently  preferred  that  kind  of 
city  officer.  Thus  the  people  of  San  Francisco  served  notice  on  the 
outside  world  that  they  preferred  to  have  a  wide  open  town,  that 
everything  was  to  be  on  the  dollar  and  cent  basis;  that  if  you  had 
any  business  with  the  municipal  departments  you  were  expected  to 
pay  tribute  for  transacting  that  business,  or  suffer  the  consequences. 
But,  while  the  movement  itself  did  not  succeed,  it  had  a  certain 


"WINNING  ENCOMIUMS  FOR  OUR  SPLENDID  STYLE, 

YOUTH   AND    BEAUTY." 

moral  effect  in  that  it  started  people  to  thinking  over  the  subject 
of  municipal  reform,  and  it  showed  that  even  if  this  effort  was 
defeated,  at  least  there  was  still  a  chance  of  uniting  the  honest 
element  in  San  Francisco.  And  I  am  sorry  to  say  that  one  of  the 
principal  reasons  why  this  movement  was  defeated  was  that,  in- 
cluded in  the  majority  of  the  voters  of  San  Francisco  were  many 
merchants  who  thought  that  more  money  could  be  made  in  a  wide 
open  town  than  if  the  town  were  otherwise  run.  It  was  a  discour- 
aging situation,  but,  nevertheless,  it  was  one  that  I  am  sorry  to  say 
actually  existed  in  San  Francisco. 


VICENNIAL    DAY  41 

It  seems  as  many  of  the  people  there  didn't  seem  to  care  any- 
thing more  about  reform  than  you  recollect  the  drunken  bum  did 
in  the  old  campaign  of  Tilden  and  Hendricks,  where  the  slogan 
was  "Reform;"  and  when  he  read  this  last  word  on  the  party  banner 
across  the  street,  he  laboriously  spelled  it  out  "R-E-F-O-R-M" — Re- 
form. "Who  the  hell  is  he,  anyway?"  And  it  did  seem  as  if  that 
was  the  state  San  Francisco  was  in. 

Then  it  was  that  Rudolph  Spreckels  started  in  to  raise  a  cam- 
paign fund  for  the  purpose  of  suppressing  the  grafters,  and  many 
people  contributed  to  it  in  the  belief  that  it  was  to  be  used  for  the 
purpose  of  prosecuting  these  dishonest  officials. 

Now,  here  is  one  of  the  anomalies  of  the  situation.  One  or  two 
of  the  officers  of  these  corporations  to  which  I  have  referred,  who 
were  anxious  that  this  reform  movement  should  succeed,  have  been, 
nevertheless,  themselves  indicted  by  the  grand  jury  for  bribery 
alleged  to  have  been  committed  since  that  election,  although  these 
dishonest  municipal  officials  and  the  dishonest  boss  have  virtually 
been  given  immunity  because  they  confessed  their  sins;  and  they 
are  the  men  who  are  in  office  to-day  in  the  city  of  San  Francisco, 
while  the  others  have  been  indicted  because  they  did  not  confess 
their  sins.  Those  who  are  in  charge  of  this  graft  prosecution  have 
stated  that  a  further  reason  for  giving  clemency  to  the  municipal 
officials  is  that  the  prosecutors  were  moved  by  motives  of  expe- 
diency and  public  policy. 

That  there  has  been  a  great  deal  of  extortion,  and  there  has 
been  a  great  deal  of  bribery,  there  is  no  question;  but  it  is  a 
question  as  to  whether  or  not  the  bribery  has  been  committed  to 
the  extent  claimed.  That  these  city  officials  have  received  money 
at  different  times,  directly  or  indirectly,  for  their  official  action  is 
unquestioned;  but  it  is  .  a  matter  of  considerable  question  whether 
or  not  the  money  paid  by  the  various  public  service  concerns,  or 
some  of  that  money,  was  not  paid  for  immunity  from  petty  persecu- 
tion at  the  City  Hall,  or  was  not  paid  for  freedom  from  labor  strikes, 
both  of  which  the  boss  in  San  Francisco  was  able  to  guarantee  by 
reason  of  his  control  over  the  labor  party.  However,  whether  or 
not  these  offenses  have  been  committed  and  to  what  extent  will 
come  out  later,  if  at  all,  in  the  result  of  these  prosecutions.  The 
situation,  naturally,  is  a  very  peculiar  one. 

Now,  it  has  been  seriously  questioned,  and  it  is  a  matter  of 
perhaps  some  doubt,  whether  or  not  there  were  other  motives  for 
undertaking  these  criminal  prosecutions  than  the  laudable  one  of 
ridding  the  city  of  the  grafters,  but  I,  for  one,  am  slow  to  criticize 
a  man's  motives  when  he  is  striving  to  accomplish  good  results.  That 
Spreckels,  who  had  raised  a  fund  for  prosecuting  the  grafters,  was 
keenly  disappointed  over  his  failure  to  obtain  control  of  one  of  the 


42  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

corporations  to  which  I  have  referred,  is  undoubted;  that  he  was 
more  keenly  disappointed  over  his  failure  to  obtain  certain  franchises 
which  were  obtained  by  the  other  one  of  those  corporations  to  which 
I  have  alluded,  is  also  undoubted;  and  that  he  entertains  an  undying 
hatred  for  the  officers  of  that  company  is  also  undoubted.  And 
yet  it  is  easier  to  criticize  than  it  is  to  construct,  and  I  know  of  no 
one  who  is  better  able  to  put  through  a  movement  of  this  kind  than 
the  men  who  have  taken  it  up,  and  I  know  of  no  set  of  men  who 
have  clone  more  efficient  work  and  whose  work  will  redound  more 
to  the  benefit  of  th*  country  in  general  than  the  men  who  are  now 
engaged  in  the  prosecution  of  these  municipal  graft  cases. 

There  is  one  more  word  I  want  to  say.  I  presume  when  we 
all  entered  college,  and,  again,  when  we  graduated  here,  we  had 
the  feeling  in  our  hearts  and  we  believed  that  whatever  suc- 
cess we  afterwards  attained  in  life,  we  could  attribute  to  the 
education  and  training  we  obtained  here;  but  I  also  believe  that  the 
last  twenty  years  have  demonstrated  to  us  that  it  was  not  so  much 
the  education,  it  was  not  so  much  the  training  we  received  here, 
as  it  is  the  subtle  influence  of  that  indefinable  something  that  a  man 
breathes  in  here  the  moment  he  enters  freshman  year  that  grows 
upon  him  as  his  college  life  lengthens,  and  departs  with  him  as  he 
goes  beyond  its  gates  into  the  outside  world,  that  invaluable  pos- 
session— the  "Yale  spirit" — a  sort  of  sub-consciousness,  as  it  were, 
that  speaks  in  a  still  small  voice,  stiffening  our  backbone  when  it 
needs  stiffening,  and  making  us  realize  the  necessity  of  living  up  to 
the  standard  of  a  Yale  man  in  all  that  that  term  implies — that  stand- 
ard, that  ideal  that  is  happily  ever  with  us,  guiding  and  supporting 
us  throughout  the  perplexities  of  life. 

I  count  that  man  fortunate,  as  we  are  all  here  fortunate,  who, 
going  out  into  the  world,  possesses  that  still  small  voice  that  is 
the  accompaniment  of  a  Yale  blessing. 

THE  TOASTMASTER  : 

The  next  man  I  am  going  to  call  on  is  Fred  Hill.  You 
may  not  all  know  it,  but  Fred  Hill  to-morrow  morning  is 
going  to  receive  from  Yale  University  the  honorary  degree 
of  M.  A.  Fred  is  the  first  member  of  '87,  if  I  am  not  mis- 
taken, to  receive  an  honorary  degree,  and  to  be  thus  publicly 
honored  by  the  great  university  for  purely  literary  work. 

His  only  claim  to  literary  talent  in  our  time  centered 
in  the  fact  that  he  invariably  sharpened  his  lead  pencils  with 
a  razor.  That's  as  far  as  he  ever  got  in  literature.  It's  a 
surprise  and  a  delight  to  many  of  us  that  Fred  developed 


VICENNIAL    DAY 


43 


not  only  a  literary  reputation,  but  genuine  literary  talent. 
And  during  those  years  literature  has  not  only  come  from 
him  but  has  returned  upon  him  in  rich  blessing.  So  that 
instead  of  being  the  kind  of  person  we  thought  he  was  he 
is  not  only  universally  admired,  but  universally  welcome. 

FREDERICK  T.    HILL: 

MR.    TOASTMASTER   AND    GENTLEMEN: 

The  remarks  of  our  inimitable  toastmaster  remind  me  most 
forcibly  of  Mark  Twain's  observation,  that  man  is  the  only  animal 
that  can  blush,  or  ii^eds  to.  However,  my  experience  in  the  law 


"WE    THEN    FORMED   IN    ORDER   OF   M\RCH." 

has  taught  me  that  there  are  some  duties  which  cannot  be  delegated; 
some  acts  which  one  cannot  perform  by  attorney — and  one  of  them 
is  blushing.  For  a  man  must  either  blush  for  himself  or  have  others 
blush  for  him,  and  between  those  alternatives,  there  is  no  self-respect- 
ing choice. 

Now,  I  am  quite  sure  that  you  do  not  want  me  to  make  a  speech, 
or  expect  me  to  respond  at  all  adequately  to  your  friendly  greeting. 
All  I  can  do  is  to  express  my  very  deep  appreciation  of  the  honor 
that  has  been  conferred  upon  the  Class  of  '87  in  my  person,  and 


44  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

to  thank  you  and  all  of  you  whose  approval  enables  me  to  represent 
the  class  in  this  gracious  and  gratifying  manner. 

And  permit  me  to  say  right  here  and  now  that  if  the  proposed 
action  of  the  Corporation  did  not  very  generally  meet  with  your 
approval;  if  I  did  not  feel  that  I  was  justified,  in  some  measure 
rt  least,  in  regarding  myself  as  your  candidate  and  nominee  for  this 
honorary  degree,  then  the  distinction  would  have  very  little  value 
in  my  eyes  and  be  to  me  an  empty  honor,  even  at  the  hands  of  Yale. 

Now,  Billy  Phelps,  in  that  still,  small  and  husky  voice  of  his,  in- 
timated to  me  that  I  would  be  expected  to  respond  to  an  informal 
toast  on  "Law,  Lincoln  and  Literature."  But  that  long-winded  theme 
is  no  fit  subject  for  a  New  Yorker. 

At  one  time  New  Yorkers  were  supposed  to  live  according  to 
the  law  and  the  prophets;  but  of  recent  years  the  general  public 
there  has  been  so  busy  with  the  profits  that  it  has  had  very  little 
time  to  give  attention  to  the  law,  and  successful  members  of  the  bar 
cannot  afford  to  study  a  subject  which  is  apt  to  bring  them  into 
conflict  with  the  opinion  of  the  courts. 

So,  I  have  nothing  to  say  under  the  head  of  law. 

And  as  for  Lincoln.  Well,  he  has  been  appropriated  by  Tam- 
many Hall  and  Hearst  and  other  founders  of  the  Lincoln  Democracy, 
and  surely,  that  is  the  last  word  upon  the  first  American! 

And  to  "Literature,"  Billy  Phelps  should  respond  himself,  for  he 
has  done  more  for  it  than  any  other  Yale  man  I  know  of.  Indeed 
I  can,  perhaps,  best  illustrate  the  work  that  he  is  doing  in  that 
line  by  a  story  told  me  by  Augustus  Thomas  who  said  that  when 
he  was  working  on  a  newspaper  out  West  a  grouchy  old  fellow 
who  never  had  a  pleasant  word  to  say  of  any  of  his  subordinates 
was  Editor-in-Chief.  One  morning  an  enthusiastic  young  member 
of  his  staff,  hoping  for  a  word  of  praise  went  to  him  and  exclaimed, 
"I  don't  know  what's  the  matter  with  me!  I  don't  seem  to  bf  able 
to  write  any  more.  I  think  I've  lost  the  knack."  And  with  that 
he  threw  down  his  copy.  The  editor  picked  it  up,  glanced  at  it  and 
growled.  "You  write  just  as  well  as  you  ever  did,  but  your  taste 
is  improving." 

That's  what  Billy  Phelps  is  doing  for  Yale.  We  may  not  write 
any  better  than  we  ever  did,  but  our  taste  is  improving. 


THE  TOASTMASTER: 

No  '87  dinner  would  be  complete  without  Bill — if  Crazy 
Bill  didn't  come  up  and  say  something.  I  will  allow  him 
to  speak  on  any  subject, he  chooses,  except  California.  Get  up, 


VICENNIAL    DAY  45 


old  primitive  man !     Get  up !     Let's  hear  what  you  have  got 
to  say,  Bill  Kent. 


WILLIAM   KENT: 

B.  Phelps  has  bestowed  asparagus  on  all  of  us  with  a  free  hand. 
In  the  case  of  others  he  has  blithely  twitted  on  facts.  Maybe  in 
introducing  me  as  one  demented,  he  is  right. 

I  guess  it  is  crazy  to  travel  3,000  miles,  urged  by  a  sentimental 
desire  to  be  a  child  again  along  with  you  children. 

To  save  myself  from  libel  suits  in  the  strenuous  days  of  politics 
I  have  been  willing  to  be  called  crazy,  and  now  to  escape  any  more 
Phelpsims,  I  again  acknowledge  the  corn.  Yes,  I  am  crazy,  just  as 
crazy  as  I  want  to  be. 

Since  securing  an  unexpected  certificate  of  complete  enlight- 
enment twenty  years  ago,  I  have  seen  many  places  and  many  men 
and  the  more  men  I  have  "seen  and  known  and  met  along,"  the  more 
confidence  I  have  in  human  nature  and  the  more  respect  I  have  for 
mankind. 

If  the  philosophy  that  has  grown  out  of  my  experience  is  right, 
the  trouble  is  not  that  men  are  bad  but  that  they  do  not  put  their 
emphasis  in  the  right  place.  Our  greatest  emphasis  should  be 
put  on  our  social  relations,  where  we  freely  acknowledge  the  rights 
of  the  "other  fellow."  All  rational  ethics  teach  this,  all  experience 
teaches  this,  and  yet  the  individual  forgets  that  the  "other  fellow'" 
is  a  part  of  his  life  and  part  of  himself. 

We  have  our  ideals  which  we  think  are  high,  but  none  ar^  high 
enough  unless  they  are  social  ideals.  If  we  men  blessed  with  educa- 
tion and  opportunity  wish  to  do  good  in  this  world  we  must  prac- 
tice and  preach  the  social  life.  We  must  realize  that  a  man  cannot  be 
an  honest  man  and  a  selfish  man,  for  selfishness  means  the  privation 
of  the  "other  fellow"  of  what  should  be  coming  to  him.  He  may 
think  he  is  honest,  who,  heedless  of  the  "other  fellow"  claims  some- 
thing as  his,  but  if  that  claim  inpinges  on  the  just  claim  of  the  "other 
fellow"  then  your  conventional  individualist  is  dishonest. 

The  social  ideals  are  the  only  ideals  that  cm  make  men  really 
honest.  It  is  this  sort  of  honesty  that  will  make  the  world  better. 

How  he  may  best  struggle  up  hill  in  this  direction  .must  rest 
with  every  man  to  determine,  the  direction  is  right,  anyhow. 

Perhaps  my  own  course  has  been  erratic,  perhaps  even  crazy,  but 
I  want  you  to  know  and  to  believe  that  my  msanest  efforts  have 
been  directed  toward  the  development  of  these  same  social  ideals, 
and  I  hope  to  die  in  the  same  demented  condition. 


46  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

THE  TOASTMASTER: 

No  dinner  would  be  complete  without  a  speech  from  a 
minister.  The  man  I  refer  to  is  old  Charles  Otis  Scoville, 
the  kind  old  village  preacher  of  '87..  Scoville  spent  four 
years  in  college  trying  to  get  his  degree.  He  is  practically  at 
the  head  of  Trinity  Church,  which  is  the  most  important 
Episcopal  church  in  the  city.  And  I  could  tell  you  a  lot 
about  the  politics  of  that  church,  how  he  was  put  in  there 
a  good  many  years  ago  as  assistant  curate ;  and  he  is  now 
the  only  person  who  has  survived.  Every  man,  woman  and 
child  in  that  church  loves  Scoville.  He  not  only  preaches 
his  sermon  on  Sunday  but  during  the  week  his  life  talks.  I 
could  tell  you,  if  I  had  the  time,  exactly  how  the  people  re- 
gard him. 

CHARLES  O.  SCOVILLE  : 

I  am  afraid  the  only  thing  I  can  do  is  to  make  a  bow  and  sit 
down.  I  really  didn't  recognize  myself  in  the  description  Phelps 
has  given  of  me,  but  I  don't  know  that  I  want  to  talk  about  it.  Yes, 
I  have  lived  here  all  these  years,  and  I  can  only  say  that  it  gives  me 
great  pleasure  to  stand  here  and  look  at  you  men  again.  I  will  say 
that  for  myself  whatever  I  have  obtained  myself  that  I  have  obtained 
by  considerable  hard,  persistent  work.  It's  getting  to  be  after  one 
o'clock  and  while  I  have  some  things  I  might  like  to  say  I  believe  that 
every  clergyman  gets  in  the  way  of  talking  to  the  congregation  that 
can't  talk  back  and  the  first  thing  he  knows  he  gets  to  preaching, 
2nd  gets  to  telling  the  other  fellow  how  to  do  it.  I  don't  w^nt  to 
preach  here  to-night  or  say  anything  that  might  seem  giving  advice. 

I  just  simply  want  to  express  my  gratitude  and  appreciation,  and 
sit  down. 

THE  TOASTMASTER  : 

Full  many  a  flower  is  born  to  blush  unseen  but  the  Rose 
of  Missouri  blushes  in  the  limelight.  Rosie  is  a  man  who  has 
•done  things  in  the  Great  West — a  man  who  counts  for  some- 
thing in  Kansas  City,  and  one  whom  all  '87  is  proud  of. 
Some  day  he  will  write  his  autobiography,  "From  North 
College  to  Kansas  City,  or  How  I  Raised  the  Limit." 

Rosie  used  to.  paint  Diehl's  tonsils;  now  he  paints  the 
town.  You  may  fire,  Rosie,  when  you  are  ready.

GRANT    I.    ROSENZWEIG: 

MR.    TOASTMASTER  AND    FELLOWS: 

In  saying  the  few  words  that  I  have  to  say  to  you,  I  hardly 
feel  brazen  enough  to  enter  into  a  long  dissertation  on  the  Middle 
West,  from  which  I  come.  I  don't  intend  to  tell  you  any  exag- 
gerated stories  about  the  Middle  West,  although  one  does  come  to 
my  mind  touching  a  subject  of  which  you  most  frequently  read  in  the 
newspapers — in  relation  to  cyclones.  I  happened  very  recently  in 
a  cigar  store  and  there  an  old  German  was  standing  at  the  counter 
using  the  telephone.  He  was  calling  up  the  owner  of  the  property 
from  whom  he  rented.  "Is  this  Mr.  Watson?"  asked  the  old  gentle- 
man **  ''Well,"  he  continued,  "I  am  Mr.  Schmidtz.  I  want  to  tell 
you  that  last  night  the  vind  blew  the  shutters  off."  **  "Yes,  the 
shutters."  **  'The  vind  last  night,  the  vind  blew  the  shutters  off."  ** 
"The  vind,  I  -am  telling  you,  it  was  the  vind!  **  Tam-it,  vind,  v-i-n-t, 
vint!" 

Gentlemen,  I  came  to  Yale  from  what  I  believed  at  that  time  to 
be  the  West.  I  came  to  Yale,  because  I  though  Yale  was  a  big 
and  broad  university;  ,and  after  I  finished  my  course  at  Yale  I  went 
out  into  the  Middle  West,  which  we  like  to  call  the  Golden  West 
because  of  the  golden  color  of  those  vast  plains,  and  I  found  there 
a  country  that  was  also  big  and  broad.  I  came,  to  Yale  because  I 
expected  to  find  Yale  big  and  broad,  and  I  went  further  West  because 
I  expected  to  find  there  a  country  that  was  big  and  broad,  and  I 
was  not  disappointed  in  either  expectation. 

There  is  one  episode  in  my  career  at  Yale  that  I  look  back  upon 
with  a  good  deal  of  amusement  now.  For  a  few  days  I  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  '88.  My  father  had  been  in  a  railroad  wreck 
and  had  been  very  seriously  injured,  and  this  threatened  my  college 
career  so  that  I  felt  obliged  to  hurry.  I  had  taken  my  examina- 
tions and  had  been  admitted  to  the  Class  of  '88,  and  at  the  same 
time  had  made  application  for  admission  to  '87,  which  application 
had  not  yet  been  passed  upon.  I  didn't  know  precisely  where  I 
stood  for  the  first  few  days  I  was  in  New  Haven,  and  I  was  absolutely 
unsophisticated  in  the  ways  of  New  Haven  life.  I  had  heard  of 
hazing,  but  I  didn't  know  exactly  what  it  was.  I  didn't  know  what 
the  fellows  did.  But  about  the  first  or  second  evening  I  was  in 
New  Haven,  we  were  sitting,  a  crowd  of  us,  when  we  heard  a  lot 
of  boys  come  down  the  street  singing.  I  did  not  know  what  that 
meant  except  that  it  appeared  a  good-natured  crowd  and  I  could  see 
no  harm  in  joining  the  edge  of  it,  which  I  did.  The  crowd  went  down 
the  street  and  finally  we  got  into  a  room,  and  about  the  time  we 
had  fairly  landed  in  the  room  somebody  closed  the  door  and  assumed 
guard  over  it, — and  I  was  on  the  inside.  It  was  too  late!  I  was  a. 


48  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

member  of  '88  at  that  time.  I  was  there  in  ignorance  of  the  condi- 
tions and  proprieties, — ignorant  even  of  the  fact  that  it  was  an  '87 
crowd  in  command,  with  a  number  of  '88  men  as  victims  in  tow. 
Ogden  was  brought  forward  into  the  center,  and  about  the  time 
things  were  getting  lively  for  him  I  had  begun  to  realize  the  sit- 
uation and  was  shrinking  back  against  the  wall  scared  to  death, 
and  edging  towards  the  door  with  hopes  of  rushing  past  the  guards- 
man. But  Copley's  black  and  suspicious  eyes  from  his  station  away 
up  in  front,  had  looked  around  and  seen  that  I  was  there  and  par- 
alyzed my  very  motion.  Each  look  from  Copley  was  like  a  spear 
thrust.  He  had  it  on  the  point  of  his  tongue  a  half  dozen  times 
to  ask  who  I  was  and  why  there.  I  tremble  even  yet  to  think  what 
might  have  happened  if  the  question  had  been  asked.  But  the  same 
ignorant  chance  which  led  me  into  it,  saved  me  from  a  danger, 
beside  which  Ogden's  fate  would  doubtless  have  been  trifling,  and 
by  this  escape  from  my  own  future  mates  I  was  left  stunned  with 
terror,  but  with  whole  bones  to  complete  my  course  with  the  glorious 
Class  of  '87. 

I  had  another  experience  on  the  first  day  I  was  in  New  Haven 
in  relation  to  the  boat  race.  I  had  landed  here  late  in  the  afternoon, 
and  in  going  out  to  get  my  dinner  I  found  a  tremendous  concourse 
of  people  on  Chapel  Street.  I  did  not  know  what  it  was  all  about, — 
not  the  faintest  idea  in  the  world  what  was  the  cause.  I  went  up 
to  a  man  and  said,  "Will  you  kindly  tell  me  what  the  celebration 
is  about?"  And  he  looked  at  me  without  a  word  of  reply.  To 
another  I  said,  "Will  you  kindly  tell  me  what  the  excitement  is?"  With 
the  utmost  disdain  he  said,  "Don't  you  know?"  I  said,  "No,  sir,  I 
don't."  And  without  more,  he  turned  his  back  and  walked  away. 
After  five  or  six  similar  experiences  I  was  finally  told  "It's  the  race." 
But  after  that  information  I  didn't  know  whether  it  was  a  race  that 
had  been  run,  or  was  to  be  run  in  future,  in  the  public  street,  or  by 
man  or  beast.  Later  in  the  day  when  the  bombs  began  to  explode, 
I  learned  that  the  race  had  occurred  and  that  it  was  a  boat  race, 
with  triumph  to  the  blue.  And  I  learned  several  other  things  after 
that.  But  of  all  the  things  I  learned  at  Yale,  Fellows,  I  think  I 
can  safely  say  that  the  best  was  gained  from  association  with  you. 
I  learned  from  you  what  I  might  apply  in  a  larger  world,  for 
which  I  was  trying  to  fit  myself  at  that  time. 

I  found,  without  undue  flattery  to  any  of  you,  I  found  among  the 
fellows  in  the  Class  of  '87  as  good  material,  as  strong  minds,  as 
able,  as  conscientious,  as  hardworking  men  as  I  expected  to  find, 
and  as  I  have  found  in  fact  in  the  world  at  large. 

The  training  here  stood  me  in  good  stead  there.  I  guess  I  am 
nearly  the  sole  representative  of  '87  located  in  that  section,  outside 
of  Douglass,  and  he  wishes  me  to  express  his  deepest  regret  that

he  could  not  be  here.  It  so  happens  there  are  very  few  of  our  mem- 
bers located  in  that  section  of  the  country.  And  that  is  a  tremen- 
dous country.  It  is  tremendously  big, — it  is  tremendously  broad. 
You  all  know  what  it  means,  of  course,  when  you  hear  of  the  West. 
I  know  a  single  man  out  there  who  cultivates  a  single  ranch,  which, 
if  it  were  spread  out  in  a  strip  of  land  a  mile  wide,  would  run  forty 
miles  straight  away.  Men  who  run  farms  of  that  magnitude  are 
not  always  men  of  education  by  any  manner  of  means,  but  gentle- 
men, the  Middle  West,  whether  of  the  college  or  non-college  brand, 
is  made  up  of  the  same  type  of  men  that  are  leading  everywhere, 
the  same  type  of  men  that  were  found  in  '87,  the  men  of  rriind  and 
energy. 

I  am  more  than  glad  that  I  came  on  here.  I  had  very  grave 
doubts  of  my  ability  to  come.  The  sight  of  you  stirs  up  good  feel- 
ings and  happy  memories  that  we  are  too  prone  to  miss.  I  sin- 
cerely express  the  hope  that  we  may  often  be  together  through  many 
future  years. 


OCCUPATIONS. 


HE   Directory  of   Living   Graduates  of  Yale  Uni- 
versity for  1908  indicates  with  each  man's  name 
and  address  his  occupation.     It  is  not  meant  that 
the  man  is  in  every  case  actually  at  present  fol- 
lowing the  occupation  given,  but  in  some  cases 
only  that  such  has  been  his  principal  line  of  work.     A  close 
classification  of  occupations  is  not  attempted,  all  men  being 
assigned  to  fourteen  general  heads. 

The  living  graduates  of  '87  are  grouped  below  under  the 
heads  employed  in  the  Directory.  The  occupations  of  some 
men  do  not  seem  to  belong  under  any  of  the  heads,  and  it 
is  only  by  a  rather  forced  classification  that  they  have  been 
placed  where  they  are.  Other  men  do  not  appear  in  groups 
where  they  might  be  expected  to  be,  because,  though  they 
have  distinguished  themselves  in  more  than  one  line,  no  name 
is  assigned  to  more  than  one  occupation.  Thus,  our  group 
of  literary  men  includes  neither  Fred  Hill  nor  Billy  Phelps, 
because  the  one  appears  among  the  lawyers  and  the  other 
among  the  educators. 

However,  the  Secretary  has  preferred  to  adopt  the  sys- 
tem of  classification  as  he  finds  it,  except  that  he  has  sub- 
stituted "Architecture"  for  the  compound  heading  "Art,  Arch- 
itecture and  Music,"  used  in  the  Directory.  Two  of  the  four- 
teen groups,  namely,  "Government"  and  "Sciences,"  have  no 
representatives  in  '87 ;  and  four  men,  Francis,  Gardiner,  Holly 
and  Stein,  have  not  been  assigned  to  any  group.

THE  BENNETTO  SCHOLARSHIP. 


EAR  by  year  the  Bennetto  Scholarship,  established 
by  the  Class  in  1902,  has  been  doing  a  work  in 
helping  each  year  two  men — one  Senior  and  one 
Junior — who  are  recognized  by  the  Committee 
of  Award  as  characterized  by  sound  and  strong 
character,  marked  ability,  and  a  high  standing  in  the  college 
world,  and  in  the  estimation  of  their  classmates. 

In  the  establishment  of  this  scholarship  in  memory  of 
John  Bennetto,  it  was  the  hope  of  the  Class  that  as  time  pro- 
gressed it  would  come  to  be  recognized  among  college  men 
as  an  honor  of  consequence  to  be  deemed  worthy  to  hold  this 
scholarship.  That  such  is  now  the  case  there  can  be  no  doubt. 

No  man  connected  with  the  University  has  a  keener  per- 
ception of  the  under-graduate  public  sentiment  than  he  who, 
as  this  is  written,  is  about  closing  his  long  and  useful  career 
as  Dean  of  the  Academic  Faculty,  Professor  Henry  P.  Wright. 

He  writes  of  the  Bennetto  Scholarship  as  follows : 

"Great  care  has  been  taken  to  select  for  this  Scholarship 
men  whose  position  in  College  and  whose  aims  are  like  those 
of  John  Bennetto, — men  who  have  to  work  their  way,  who  are 
good  if  not  high  scholars ;  men  of  strong  character,  who  are 
prominent  for  some  kind  of  activity  outside  the  class-room. 
The  list  shows  that  the  appointments  have  been  wisely  made. 

When  a  student  is  awarded  the  Scholarship,  he  receives 
a  copy  of  the  life  of  John  Bennetto,  from  which  he  must  get 
an  inspiration.  Many  of  the  Bennetto  scholars  have  spoken 
of  the  effect  which  this  little  book  has  had  upon  them. 


THE   BENNETTO  SCHOLARSHIP  53 

The  Bennetto  Scholarship  holds  a  high  position  among 
College  awards  and  is  valued  not  only  for  the  aid  which  is 
given  to  a  man  in  limited  circumstances,  but  especially  for 
the  honor  which  is  thus  conferred  on  one  who  is  thought  by 
the  Faculty  worthy  to  have  his  name  associated  with  that 
of  John  Bennetto."

THE  MEACHAM   MEMORIAL. 


T  was  the  spontaneous  tribute  of  his  Classmates, 
to  the  memory  of  Franklin  Adams  Meacham, 
whose  life  was  given  to  his  country  and  his  pro- 
fession, which  took  form  in  the  gift  by  the  Class 
of  '87  to  the  University  of  the  tablet  erected  three 
years  ago  in  the  Memorial  Vestibule. 

The  Committee  named  at  the  Quindecennial  Reunion  of 
the  Class,  consisting  of  Kent,  Burke  and  Chase,  had  the  mat- 
ter in  charge,  and  obtained  from  the  Corporation  the  requisite 
permission,  granted  only  in  cases  where  unusual  and  con- 
spicuous service  to  Nation,  profession,  religion  or  learning 
justifies  such  honor,  to  erect  the  tablet  in  the  rotunda  designed 
for  this  purpose. 

The  necessary  funds  were  promptly  subscribed  by  the 
Class,  and  the  tablet,  a  reproduction  of  which  is  shown  else- 
where, was  designed  by  and  erected  under  the  personal  super- 
vision of  one  of  Meacham's  classmates,  Walter  B.  Chambers. 

The  character  of  the  tablet  is  impressive,  and  the  design 
and  wording  of  the  inscription  as  may  be  seen  from  the  photo- 
graph, commend  themselves  as  peculiarly  in  keeping  with  the 
modest  self  estimate  of  him  whose  life  and  death  it  com- 
memorates. 

It  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  record  here  what  has  not 
previously  appeared  in  a  Class  Record,  that  the  body  of 
Meacham  is  buried  in  the  National  Cemetery,  at  Arlington, 
Virginia,  where  lie  so  many  of  the  Nation's  defenders  in  the 
two  latest  wars.

parents  removed  to  Wabasha,  Minn.,  and  two  years  later  took  up 
a  quarter  section  of  public  land  in  Waseca  County  in  the  same  State. 
Here  Abell  lived  until  he  was  fourteen,  when  the  family  moved  to 
North  Franklin,  Conn.  He  attended  the  Willimantic  High  School, 
graduated  there,  and  completed  his  preparation  for  Yale  at  the  Nor- 
wich (Conn.)  Free  Academy. 

Having  spent  the  first  year  after  graduation  from  college  in  the

Maria  (Cutler)  Bowers,  was  born  at  Claremont,  N.  H.,  March  18th, 
1806,  but  the  following  year  the  family  moved  to  New  Haven  where 
he  lived  throughout  his  life  and  was  closely  identified  with  the  varied 
interests  of  the  city  until  his  death.  He  was  prepared  for  Yale  at 
Hopkins  Grammar  School.  He  maintained  a  good  stand  throughout 
his  college  course  and  received  the  Berkeley  Prize  for  Latin  Com- 
position. In  the  summer  of  1886  he  made  a  voyage  to  the  West 
Indies  with  his  classmate,  W.  R.  H.  Trowbridge,  in  a  bark  owned 
by  the  latter's  family,  and  the  summer  following  graduation,  trav- 
eled in  Europe  with  W.  R.  H.  Trowbridge  and  Elford  P.  Trowbridge. 
Later  in  life  he  enjoyed  opportunities  for  further  travel,  both  in 
his  own  country  and  abroad. 

He  entered  the  office  of  his  father,  w-ho  had  a  large  and  well 
established  insurance  business,  and  in  April,  1889,  they  formed  the 
firm  of  C.  B.  Bowers  &  Son,  which  continued  until  he  was  appointed 
secretary  of  the  New  Haven  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters  on  March 
3,  1893.  He  resigned  from  this  office  in  the  fall  of  1900.  He  decided 
to  study  law  and  entered  the  Yale  Law  School  in  the  fall  of  1891. 
He  was  graduated  in  J893,  was  admitted  to  the  Connecticut  Bar  in 
the  same  year  and  since  then  had  practiced  his  profession. 

He  was  well  known  politically  in  New  Haven.  In  1890  he  wras 
Democratic  candidate  for  Councilman  from  the  first  ward  and  in 
1896  was  candidate  for  Town  Auditor  of  New  Haven  on  the  Gold. 
Democratic  ticket.  By  the  appointment  of  the  governor  in  1899  he 
became  a  member  of  the  Connecticut  Commission  of  Public  Records, 
and  he  prepared  a  considerable  part  of  its  first  report,  having  made 
careful  personal  investigation  of  the  records  in  many  towns.  He 
continued  to  serve  until  the  termination  of  the  Commission  in  1903. 

He  joined  the  Connecticut  National  Guard  as  a  private  in  the 
New  Haven  Grays,  Co.  F,  Second  Regiment,  in  1891,  and  during 
sixteen  years  of  service  was  many  times  promoted,  resigning  shortly 
before  his  decease  from  the  office  of  paymaster  of  the  Second  Reg- 
iment, with  the  rank  of  captain,  much  to  the  regret  of  all  his  com- 
rades. He  was  a  member  of  the  Veteran  Grays,  the  Officers'  Asso- 
ciation of  the  Second  Regiment,  the  Connecticut  Society  of  the 
Sons  of  the  American  Revolution,  the  New  Haven  Historical  So- 
ciety, and  the  New  England  Historic  and  Genealogical  Society.  He 
was  also  a  member  of  the  Graduate  and  Quinnipiack  clubs  of  New 
Haven. 

For  many  years  he  had  taken  special  interest  in  matters  of 
local  history  and  as  early  as  the  year  of  the  graduation,  showed 
this  bent  of  his  mind  by  becoming  librarian  and  curator  of  the  New 
Haven  Colony  Historical  Society  and  continuing  in  -this  position  for 


96  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SKVEN 

four  years.  In  recognition  of  his  services  the  Society  made  him 
a  life  member  in  1893,  and  previous  to  1901  he  held  for  several  years 
the  office  of  treasurer  of  the  Society.  As  director  and  as  a  member 
of  the  library  committee  he  devoted  his  time  most  generously  to 
the  Society,  giving  especial  attention  to  the  increase  and  arrange- 
ment of  its  library.  In  commemoration  of  this  interest  his  family 
have  made  a  gift  of  $2,000  to  the  Society  to  be  known  as  the  Dwight 
E.  Bowers  Memorial  Fund,  the  income  to  be  used  "for  publishing 
early  Connecticut  Town  and  Church  Votes  and  Records  and  for 
the  purchase  of  books  published  in  or  relating  to  Connecticut,  in- 
cluding genealogies  of  families  connected  with  Connecticut  history." 

He  contributed  to  the  6th  Volume  of  Papers  of  the  New  Haven 
Colony  Historical  Society,  and  for  many  years  had  been  collecting 
material  for  writing  a  history  of  the  Bowers  family.  His  first 
paternal  ancestor  emigrated  from  England  to  Scitaute  in  1637.  He 
settled  first  in  Plymouth,  removing  to  Cambridge  in  1639.  Several 
of  his  descendants  served  in  the  Colonial  and  Revolutionary 
wars.  It  is  the  intention  of  his  family  to  have  this  material  put  in 
shape  and  published  at  some  future  date. 

Bowers  died  very  suddenly,  being  ill  only  six  hours,  at  his  home 
in  New  Haven,  April  9th,  1907,  at  the  age  of  forty-one  ye^irs.  He  was 
unmarried.  His  mother,  a  sister,  and  two  brothers,  Dr.  W.  C.  Bowers, 
Yale  '74,  and  Edward  A.  Bowers,  Yale  '79,  Lecturer  in  the  Yale 
Forest  School,  survive  him. 

Bowers  was  of  such  a  quiet  retiring  nature  that  only  those  who 
knew  him  well  could  appreciate  his  strong  force  of  character  and 
his  clear,  wise  judgment,  which  he  was  ever  ready  to  exercise  with 
patience  on  behalf  of  others,  especially  for  those  who  were  less 
endowed  with  such  qualities  or  had  received  fewer  advantages.  His 
dry  humor  was  keen  and  inimitable.  To  the  following  inscription  on 
the  simple  old  style,  slate-stone  which  marks  his  resting  place  among 
his  kin  in  a  little  country  grave  yard:  "A  devoted  son  and  brother 
and  an  antiquarian  interested  in  preserving  the  history  and  traditions 
of  Connecticut"  may  be  truly  added  "and  ever  a  loyal  friend."

JOHN  MINOR  GILLESPIE,  M.  D.,  Died  February  20,  1908. 

On  February  12,  1866,  at  Natchez,  Mississippi,  a  son  was  born 
to  James  Metcalf  and  Frances  Denny  Gillespie.  This  son,  destined 
to  do  them  honor,  was  christened  John  Minor  Gillespie.  He  was 
the  youngest  of  three  children  (the  two  older  dying  at  an  early 
age),  and  soon  showed  signs  of  an  intellect  that  proved  its  superior- 
ity during  his  short  but  useful  and  honorable  career.  John's  father 
was  a  "high-stand"  graduate  of  the  illustrious  class  of  Yale  '53.  and 


BIOGRAPHICAL   RECORD  113 

to  this  well  trained  mind  and  the  refining  influence  of  his  noble 
gracious  mother,  John  owed  much  of  his  early  scholastic  training 
in  preparation  for  St.  Paul's  School  at  Concord,  N.  H.,  where  under 
that  beloved  and  able  scholar,  Dr.  Coit,  he  prepared  for  Yale  during 
the  four  years  preceding  his  entrance  to  the  famous  Class  of  Yale 
'87,  in  which  he  was  a  conspicuous  and  most  beloved  member. 

To  know  John  was  to  love  him.  Generous  to  a  fault,  he  never 
allowed  a  needy  request  to  go  unsatisfied.  Modest  to  a  degree,  his  right 
hand  never  had  knowledge  of  the  doings  of  his  left.  Affectionate 
and  charitable,  no  unkind  word  or  selfish  act  ever  marred  the  warm 
regard  with  which  his  fellows  esteemed  him.  His  keen  intellect  and 
scintillating  wit  made  his  companionship  a  veritable  inspiration  to 
the  best  attainments  of  mentality.  Like  many  endowed  with  great 
mental  capacity,  he  was  small  of  stature  and  thus  the  affectionate 
appellation  of  "Little  John"  by  which  his  intimates  of  '87  knew  him, 
seemed  particularly  appropriate.  How  well  do  we  recall  the  gen- 
uine smile,  the  sparkling  eye,  the  hearty  hand  shake  with  which 
"Little  John"  always  welcomed  his  friends,  and  how  fond  he  was 
of  the  little  social  gatherings  with  them. 

Graduating  with  honor  in  the  Class  of  Yale  '87,  having  been 
manager  of  his  Freshman  nine  and  a  member  of  Sophomore,  Junior 
and  Senior  Societies,  he  entered  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Sur- 
geons, New  York  City,  in  the  fall  of  that  year,  from  which  insti- 
tution he  graduated  with  the  degree  of  M.  D.,  in  1890.  His  father 
being  owner  of  large  cotton  plantations,  on  which  much  of  John's 
early  life  had  been  spent,  and  having  no  one  else  to  succeed  him 
in  the  management  of  his  vast  rural  and  commercial  interests  in 
the  south,  promptly  upon  graduation  from  medical  course,  John  de- 
cided to  assist  him  in  preparation  for  continuing  his  work  at  such 
time  as  the  elder  Gillespie  should  lay  down  the  burden.  Thus  it 
transpired  that  Dr.  John  Gillespie  came  tc  be  known  not  only  as 
one  of  the  ablest  physicians  of  the  south,  but  one  of  the  most  skillful 
cotton  planters  in  Mississippi  and  Louisiana,  as  well,  so  that  the  Gilles- 
pie "Long  Staple  Cotton"  became  a  brand  of  peerless  quality  not  only 
at  New  Orleans  but  also  in  the  great  world  markets  wherever  cotton 
is  generally  used.  Little  Dr.  John,  with  his  Napoleonic  stature  and 
executive  ability;  with  his  kindly  disposition  and  superb  medical  skill, 
thus  became  an  influence  in  the  states  of  Mississippi  and  Louisiana 
which  is  already  sadly  missed, — and  many  a  disease-stricken  negro 
and  white  man  as  well,  will  long  for  the  healing  and  comforting 
power  of  the  hand  and  voice  now  stilled  forever.  He  had  surrounded 
himself  with  a  most  carefully  selected  library  of  more  than  six 
thousand  volumes  and  there  were  few  subjects,  either  political  or 
social  that  he  could  not  discuss  in  masterful  fashion. 


114  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

During  the  past  few  years  Dr.  Gillespie  had  been  a  member  of 
the  firm  of  Gillespie  and  Young,  Ltd.,  doing  a  cotton  brokerage 
business  at  818  Union  St.,  New  Orleans,  La.,  having  formed  this 
partnership  with  George  Young, — our  George  of  '87,  a  most  beloved 
member — and  these  two  congenial  spirits  conducted  there  a  pros- 
perous business  up  to  the  date  of  John's  death,  which  took  place  sud- 
denly at  his  home  plantation,  ''Winter  Quarters,"  near  Newellton, 
La.,  February  20th,  1908.  His  funeral  was  held  at  the  home  of  his 
cousin,  Miss  Sessions,  Natchez,  Miss.,  on  the  birthday  of  our  Great 
Washington,  with  interment  at  Mt.  Carmel  Cemetery  near  Natchez, 
where  the  rest  of  his  family  lie  amid  the  luxuriant  magnolias,  and 
the  fragrant  jasmine. 

Those  of  us  who  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  a  visit  to  that  hos- 
pitable southern  home  well  know  the  affection  and  genuine  good 
cheer  that  made  the  welcome  to  the  weary  traveler  so  precious; 
and  the  memory  of  John  Minor  Gillespie,  Yale  '87,  must  always  be 
to  each  and  every  one  of  us  a  milestone  in  life's  journey,  at  the 
foot  of  which  we  can  truthfully  say:  "Heaven  gives  us  friends,  to 
bless  the  present  scene:  Resumes  them  to  prepare  us  for  the  next."

FREDERICK  TREVOR  HILL,  New  York  City. 

Was  born  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  May  5,  1865,  the  son  of  Edward 
and  Mary  (Johnson)  Hill.  He  removed  to  New  York  in  1878,  but 
his  preparation  for  college  was  at  the  Brooklyn  Polytechnic. 

Having  graduated  from  Columbia  Law  School  and  studied  in 
the  office  of  Colonel  Robert  G.  Ingersoll,  he  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  in  1889,  and  was  for  a  time  managing  clerk  for  Colonel  Ingersoll. 
For  the  past  sixteen  years  he  has  been  in  general  law  practice;  a 
part  of  the  time  as  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Wood  &  Hill,  but  now 
alone. 

He  has  written  a  volume  of  short  stories,  "The  Case  and  Ex- 
ceptions;" three  novels,  "The  Minority,"  "The  Web,"  and  "The  Ac- 
complice;" a  law  book,  "The  Care  of  Estates;"  a  biography,  "Lincoln 
the  Lawyer,"  which  first  appeared  serially  in  the  Century  Magazine; 
and  two  historical  works,  "Decisive  Battles  of  the  Law"  and 
"The  Story  of  a  Street,"  both  of  which  were  first  published 
in  Harper's  Magazine.  He  wrote  a  series  of  articles  for  the 
New  York  Times  in  1909,  called  "Lincoln's  Legacy  of  Inspiration 
to  Americans,"  which  was  made  the  basis  of  a  competition  for 
school  children  in  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  other  cities  in  honor 
of  the  Lincoln  Centennial.  He  also  edited,  in  collaboration  with 
S.  P.  Griffin,  "Miniatures  from  Balzac's  Masterpieces,"  and  has 
contributed  numerous  articles  and  short  stories  to  many  of  the  lead- 
ing magazines.  He  is  continually  engaged  in  historical  research, 
principally  touching  United  States  history,  for  literary  purposes. 
He  received  the  honorary  degree  of  M.  A.  from  Yale  in  1907. 

Politically  he  is  an  Independent  with  Republican  leanings.  He 
was  active  in  support  of  the  candidacy  of  District  Attorney  Jerome 
in  1905,  and  of  the  independent  nominees  for  judges  in  1906.  He 
belongs  to  the  Episcopal  Church.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  New  York  Association  for  Improving  the  Condition 
of  the  Poor;  was  one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  New  York  County 
Lawyers'  Association;  is  one  of  the  Council  of  the  Authors'  Club,

He  is  a  member  of  the  New  York  Bar  Association,  The  New  York 
County  Lawyers'  Association,  The  Down  Town  Association,  the  Cen- 
tury Association  and  the  Lincoln,  Fellowship,  Ardsley,  Authors'  and 
Graduates  Clubs. 

He  has  traveled  pretty  well  all  over  the  United  States,  as  well 
as  abroad.  He  is  interested  in  tennis,  golf  and  many  other  sports. 

He  was  married  October  22,  1895,  to  Mabel,  daughter  of  Cornelius 
D.  Wood,  of  Brooklyn  and  a  sister  of  C.  Delano  Wood  (Yale  '97,S.).

and  Susan  F.  (Wilbur)  Hill.  His  father  was  an  importer  of  teas  in 
New  York  and  subsequently  retired,  and  in  1876  removed  to  Stam- 
ford, Conn.  The  Hill  of  '87  prepared  for  College  at  H.  U.  King's 
School  for  Boys,  Stamford. 

At  graduation  he  returned  to  Stamford  and  for  two  years  taught 
in  the  same  school  where  he  had  prepared.  He  then  entered  the 
Yale  Law  School,  graduated  in  the  Class  of  '91  and  began  practice 
in  Bridgeport.  In  1893  he  became  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Perry, 
Perry  &  Hill,  and  later  of  the  firm  of  Hall  &  Hill,  which  continued 
until  the  death  of  his  partner,  when  the  firm  became  Hill  &  Board- 
man;  his  present  partner  being  William  B.  Boardman,  Yale  '93. 

Since  1894  has  been  by  appointment  of  the  Judges  of  the  Superior 
Court,  County  Health  Officer  for  Fairfield  County,  a  non-political 
office,  in  effect  legal  advisor  of  all  health  officials  in  the  county.  A 
Republican  in  politics,  he  has  more  or  less  actively  participated  in 
all  campaigns  since  his  admission  to  the  bar.  Tn  1903  he  was  the 
Republican  candidate  for  Mayor  of  Bridgeport,  but  was  defeated; 
in  1904  was  Chairman  of  the  Republican  Town  Committee,  and  is 
now  serving  his  fourth  year  as  President  of  the  Board  of  Police 
Commissioners.  By  appointment  of  the  Governor  he  is  a  member 
of  the  State  Board  of  Accountancy.

port, and  was  its  second  President;  is  a  member  of  several  Bridgeport 
Clubs  and  the  Yale  Club  of  New  York.  He  is  President  of  the 
Bridgeport  Bar  Association  and  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  The 
Yale  Alumni  Association,  of  Fairfield  County. 

Having  required  others  to  make  similar  confessions  for  these 
pages,  he  feels  constrained  to  acknowledge  a  partiality  for  golf  and 
the  Congregational  Church. 

His  chief  claim  to  distinction  is  that  since  1893  he  has  been 
Secretary  of  the  Class  of  1887  in  Yale  College.

ALBERT  GAY  HUNT. 

Bern  at  Scranton,   Pa.,   September   7th,   1863. 

Died  at   Scranton,   Pa.,   May  23st,   1905. 

Who  of  us  will  ever  forget  dear  old  "Stuffy"  Hunt?  If  ever 
there  was  a  more  enthusiastic  Yale  man,  or  more  loyal  member 
of  '87,  he  hasn't  shown  himself  yet.  I  can  see  him  now,  at  one  of 
those  memorable  ball-games,  when  Yale  won  out  only  after  a  long 
up-hill  light,  walking  up  and  down  behind  the  bleachers,  a  picture 
of  intense  suffering,  while  Yale  was  behind,  and  I  believe  he'd  have 
been  willing  to  lose  a  finger  rather  than  have  Yale  lose  a  cham- 
pionship. This  same  spirit  of  loyalty  was  characteristic  of  him 
through  all  his  relations  in  life,  and  his  associates  couldn't  help 
being  drawn  toward  him  whether  in  college  or  out.  It  was  ex- 
emplified in  a  ''homely"  way  in  that  little  incident  in  Freshman  year 
that  became  the  subject  of  good  natured  banter  among  his  class- 
mates but  was  none  the  less  an  unsuspected  index  of  character, 
when  in  one  of  Prof.  Northrop's  classes  in  English  he  was  called 
on  to  read  a  composition,  and  referred  in  it  to  "Scranton,  my  home." 
So  his  college  was  peculiarly  "my  college,"  and  his  class,  "my 
class,"  because  he  loved  them,  and  all  his  fellows  couldn't  help 
loving  him  in  return.  After  graduation  he  never  lost  the  ardor  of  his 
devotion  to  his  Alma  Mater,  but  embraced  every  opportunity  pos- 
.sible  to  renew  his  Yale  friendships  at  the  athletic  contests  and  Class 
and  University  celebrations.  He  had  the  qualities  of  real  manhood 
and  exemplified  them  all  through  his  life.  He  was  modest,  loyal, 
unselfish  and  lovable. 

He  prepared  for  college  first  at  the  School  of  the  Lackawanna, 
in  Scranton,  under  Yale  instructors,  Buell  '80  and  Seaver  '80;  and 
then  went  to  Williston  Seminary,  Easthampton,  in  1882,  but  was 
unable  to  finish  the  year  there  on  account  of  ill-health.  This  ill- 
health  continued  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  during  Freshman  and 
Sophomore  years.  After  graduation  he  became  associated  with  the 
Hunt  and  Connell  Company,  the  largest  wholesale  and  retail  hard- 
ware company  in  Northeastern  Pennsylvania,  and  continued  in  their 
employ  for  thirteen  years  as  secretary  and  head  of  the  purchasing 
department.  In  the  year  1900  he  was  made  manager  of  the  Tech- 
nical Supply  Company,  a  subsidiary  corporation  connected  with  the 
well-known  International  Correspondence  Schools  of  Scranton,  and 
remained  in  this  position  until  his  death. 

He  was  a  prominent  figure  in  social  life.  He  was  one  of  the 
founders  and  Secretary  and  Treasurer  until  his  death  of  the  Country 
Club  of  Scranton,  the  largest  and  most  successful  social  organiza- 
tion of  the  city;  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  "The  Bachelors," 
whose  annual  function,  like  the  Junior  Prom,  at  college,  was  one 


124  CLASS   OF    EIGHTY-SEVEN 

of  the  features  of  the  social  life  of  the  city;  and  was  also  a  charter 
member  and  officer  of  the  Phi  Alpha  Society,  a  select  social  or- 
ganization composed  of  young  people.  At  the  time  of  his  death 
he  was  Vice-President  of  the  Yale  Alumni  Association  of  Scranton, 
and  had  he  lived  would  have  been  its  President  the  following  year. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Scranton  Club,  and  of  the  University 
and  Yale  Clubs  of  New  York.  He  was  a  faithful  and  devoted  mem- 
ber of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  and  within  a  week  after  his 
graduation  from  Yale,  was  elected  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the 
Missionary  Association  connected  with  the  Sabbath  School,  which 
position,  through  his  fidelity  and  painstaking  zeal,  he  filled,  by 
unanimous  annual  re-election,  throughout  the  balance  of  his  life. 

The  esteem  in  which  he  was  held,  as  well  as  the  appreciation 
of  his  sterling  qualities  as  a  man,  by  the  community  in  which  he 
lived,  is  evidenced  by  the  following  extracts  from  some  of  the 
resolutions  adopted  after  his  death  by  various  organizations  with 
which  he  was  connected: 

"Painstaking  and  persevering,  thorough  and  yet  tactful,  bring- 
ing to  bear  an  energy  and  enthusiasm  not  lessened  by  unremitting 
attention  to  details,  his  services  as  Secretary  and  Treasurer  (of 
the  Country  Club)  were  of  inestimable  value,  and  to  them  must 
be  attributed  much  of  the  prosperity  of  the  Club.  Exhibiting  these 
same  qualities  and  freely  giving  himself  in  the  larger  life  of  the 
community,  he  has  left  a  record  rarely  equalled  in  the  unselfish 
result  of  so  short  a  span  of  years,  whether  viewed  from  the  stand- 
point of  activity  or  sentiment.  His  death  sunders  many  ties  of  com- 
radery,  breaks  many  ties  of  friendship,  but  his  life  has  left  pleasant 
and  enduring  memories,  helpful  and  inspiring  influences." 

****.** 

"He  was  actively  identified  with  varied  interests,  social  as  well 
as  religious,  during  his  life  in  this  city.  He  was  a  man  of  strong 
character,  and  positive  convictions,  yet  modest  and  unassuming  in 
manner.  He  was  loyal  to  his  friends  and  business  associates,  and 
zealous  in  his  devotion  to  their  interest.  He  never  slighted  his 
work,  but  by  his  painstaking  fidelity  in  the  public  and  private  duties 
he  was  called  to  perform,  won  unfailing  commendation.  Faithful- 
ness and  unselfishness  were  the  keynotes  of  his  character." 


In  an  editorial  comment  upon  his  death  one  of  the  'local  papers 
said:  "His  death  is  a  distinct  loss  to  the  social  and  business  life 
of  Scranton.  Mr.  Hunt  possessed  great  capacity  for  leadership, 
which  was  early  recognized  in  the  social  circle  in  which  he  moved. 
For  many  years  he  was  the  acknowledged  leader  in  all  the  social 
functions  of  such  organizations  as  the  Bachelors  and  the  Country 


BIOGRAPHICAL    RECORD  125 

Club.  In  business  he  displayed  the  same  capacity  for  management 
that  had  won  him  his  pre-eminence  in  society,  and  he  was  soon 
recognized  as  one  the  most  brilliant  young  business  men  in  the 
city.  He  had  an  exceedingly  promising  future  before  him,  and  his 
death  is  keenly  regretted  by  all  who  knew  him." 

****** 

Another  paper  spoke  of  him  as  follows:  "He  was  a  genial, 
whole-souled  gentleman,  gracious  and  kind  to  all  with  whom  he  came 
in  contact,  overflowing  with  the  milk  of  human  kindness,  without 
a  thought  of  guile,  or  an  enemy  in  the  world.  He  had  a  genius 
for  detail  in  social  matters  which  he  exercised  freely  and  willingly 
for  others.  In  business  he  was  most  careful  and  painstaking.  *  *  * 
Thousands  will  mourn  his  early  death.  The  world  was  better  for 
his  living  in  it." 

To  sum  up  his  characteristics,  and  give  the  final  estimate  of 
his  life,  I  think  nothing  better  or  truer  can  be  said  than  Billy 
Kent  wrote  to  Bob  Maxwell  on  learning  from  the  latter  of  his 
death : 

"He  was  as  square  a  fellow  as  they  made  'em — loyal,  kind,  un- 
selfish. He  was  inherently  good  and  square  on  all  sides.  Dear  old 
Stuffy!  he  didn't  need  the  trimmings  to  be  a  man,  bless  him,  he 
was  just  plain  man,  and  there  was  nothing  tailor-made  about  him. 
There  are  mighty  few  in  the  class  for  whom  every  member  in  the 
class  will  have  as  kindly  a  memory;  for  to  his  big,  unselfish  heart 
was  added  a  charm  of  modesty — a  charm  going  ever  with  those 
who,  while  realizing  the  unimportance  of  any  individual,  inherently 
feel  the  everlasting  value  to  themselves  and  to  society  of  character 
and  kindliness." 

Returning  from  a  business  trip  abroad  early  in  May,  '05,  he 
was  taken  with  an  obscure  but  not  apparently  severe  malady,  which 
soon  developed  alarming  symptoms  and  proved  to  be  tuberculosis 
of  the  kidneys,  and  after  an  illness  lasting  two  weeks  he  died  on 
Sunday,  the  21st  of  May.  The  Class  was  represented  at  his  funeral 
by  Archibald,  Maxwell.  Thomas  and  Hand,  who  acted  as  honorary 
pall-bearers.

BIOGRAPHICAL   RECORD  129 

He  was  a  candidate  for  City  Judge  of  New  York,  in  1901,  and 
again  in  1904,  when  a  severe  attack  of  nephritis  made  him  give  up 
his  practice  and  go  to  California.  In  the  Ojai  Valley  near  Nordhoff, 
he  lived  quietly  doing  many  useful  things  connected  with  his  pro- 
fession, and  in  the  library  of  the  Thacher  School  and  in  various 
organizations  for  the  public  welfare. 

His  sister  and  his  fiancee,  Miss  D.elafield,  of  Chicago  were  with  him 
much  of  the  time  until  his  sudden  death  from  cerebral  hemorrhage, 
Friday  evening,  June  9th,  about  eleven  o'clock.  Drs.  Saegar  and 
Pierpont  and  Dr.  Flint,  of  Santa  Barbara,  and  two  trained  nurses 
did  all  possible  to  make  him  comfortable.  He  was  not  fully  con- 
scious after  the  paralytic  attack  on  June  3rd. 

The  funeral  took  place  Sunday  afternoon,  June  llth.  The  Epis- 
copal service  was  read  and  the  bearers  were  all  Yale  graduates: 
E.  S.  Thacher  '72,  S.  D.  Thacher  '83,  W.  L.  Thacher  '87,  William 
Kent  '87,  Henry  Colton  '02,  A.  B.  Mygatt  '01,  S. 

The  interment  took  place  in  the  Nordhoff  Cemetery  near  the 
Thacher  and  Newton  lots. 

The  great  desire  of  his  life  seemed  just  within  his  reach  when  the 
stroke  came.  He  never  showed  the  white  feather.  He  continued 
to  be  quiet  and  calm  and  thoughtful  of  others  and  an  inspiration  to 
others.  He  met  the  events  of  his  life  in  such  a  way  that  he  made 
a  rare  and  beautiful  success  out  of  what  some  might  call  a  failure. 

Like  John  Bennetto,  he  was  one  of  the  "gentlemen  unafraid,'* 
who,  "as  he  trod  that  day  to  God,  so  walked  he  from  his  birth, 

In   simpleness   and   gentleness   and   honour   and    clean   mirth."
